A photograph of three petrol pumps at a BP station. One of the pumps has been covered by a piece of paper with a sticker reading, "out". Underneath the sticker, the paper reads, "Available - diesel only. Due to high demand (following the Canterbury Earthquake) we are currently out of petrol".
Petrol and diesel price hikes have disappointed some of those on the frontline of the Christchurch earthquake clean-up.
