Fuel importers have confirmed there will be price-hikes at the petrol pump within a week, following the weekend attack on an oil plant in Saudi Arabia.

Global oil prices have jumped by 18 percent after the attack which sabotaged about half of Saudi Arabia's crude processing. New Zealand retailers have suggested prices here might rise between 5 and 10 cents a litre.
