Japan's rising petrol prices pose test for Takaichi

A sign at a filling station shows the prices of petrol in Tokyo on Wednesday.

Japan is heavily dependent on the Middle East for its supply of crude oil, which topped $114 a barrel Thursday. In Japan, the average retail price of petrol climbed to ¥191, or about $1.20 (40 baht), per litre on Monday, according to data from Japan's Economy Ministry. That marked an 18% increase from a week earlier.
