The rising price of diesel is burning a big hole in one company's pocket. Yesterday, the cheapest diesel in Tauranga was $2.39 at Gull Speedlane, while 91 petrol was $2.28. Rotorua-based Patchell Group, transport trailers and equipment manufacturers, say diesel cost the company an extra $87,000 dollars in the first six months of this year. Chief Executive of Brent Whibley says they didn't expect it to have such an impact. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
