MUMBAI, May 13 (Reuters) - The Indian rupee fell to a fresh 13-month low on Wednesday as record oil prices and growing worries about a slowdown in the economy spurred demand for U.S. dollars.

At 9:02 a.m. (0333 GMT), the partially convertible rupee <INR=IN> was at 42.26/27 per dollar, a level it last traded on April 16, 2007, according to Reuters data. It had closed at 42.10/11 on Tuesday. (Reporting by Saikat Chatterjee; Editing by John Mair)
