The price of Dubai crude oil has fallen from $210 a barrel in mid-September to $192, yet pump prices in New Zealand are rising. Analysts say several factors are behind the gap.
迪拜原油价格已从9月中旬的每桶210美元降至192美元，但同期新西兰的加油站价格仍在持续攀升。这种反向变动让消费者感到困惑。
The price of Dubai crude oil has fallen from $210 a barrel in mid-September to $192, yet pump prices in New Zealand have continued climbing over the same period. The opposite-direction move has left consumers puzzled.
分析人士表示，这一差距不能归因于单一原因，而是汇率波动、炼油利润和当地税收共同作用的结果。原油价格下跌通常需要数周才能传导至加油站。
Analysts say the gap cannot be pinned on a single cause, pointing instead to currency movements, refining margins and local taxes acting together. A drop in crude prices can typically take weeks to filter through to the pump.
消费者团体呼吁提高加油价格制定过程的透明度。官员表示，他们将继续监测全球市场波动对本地价格的影响程度及传导速度。
Consumer groups are calling for greater transparency in how pump prices are set. Officials say they will keep watching how much, and how quickly, swings in global markets feed through to local prices.
