Brent Whibley: Patchell Group CEO on rising diesel costs setting them back extra $87,000 - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

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.
