In the last fortnight, global oil prices have hovered in $66-67 a barrel range higher than the levels when petrol and diesel prices were last revised.
Crude prices have jumped around $69 a barrel now.
The price of the two auto fuels had fallen by 16 paisa and 14 paisa per litre respectively on April 15 after a 15 day break when OMCs kept its prices static.
