Diesel prices rose for the third consecutive days on Saturday while, petrol prices remained stable for the fourth straight days.

Prices are still ruling nearly three-month high. Crude prices jumped to $71.95 per barrel on September 16 amid supply concern after the drone attacks on the facilities of Saudi Aramco, one of the major oil companies of the world.
