Fair go is running a story tonight on the share tank app and if it is a form of money grab.
I presume due to the inability to consume all litres bought once you get down to less than 3

Isn't it oddly convenient that prices are dropping right before the tax relief is stopped.....

So much for a nice gradual drop before the tax comes back on that was happening.

Z have skyrocketed nearly 20c.

While you get discount locations around the 2.20 for 91 in chc, their retail price is suddenly 2.43

Diesel $1.58 after discount at Epsom Caltex. Filling the tank now closer to $100 than $200. Happy days.
$2.16 for 91.

Last week, Pioneer New world in Palmy were running a promo if you spend more than $60 in store, you got a 15c/L off fuel voucher.

Used it yesterday to drop the standard price of 91 from $2.08/L down to $1.93/L. Haven't had prices like that for a hot minute.

Hamburg/Germany (we have high petrol taxes)

Super (95 Octane) 1.899 €/L => 3.23359 NZD

E10 (90% Super + 10% eco ethanol) 1.749 €/L => 2.97817 NZD

Diesel 1.609 €/L => 2.73978 NZD

Reminder to all that the Fuel Tax discount ends on the 30th which is Friday next week, I believe the price will be going up about 30c/L.

Good time to load up Z Sharetank?

Also the Public Transport discount is ending, however have found out the Snapper card can hold 2 monthly passes so try to buy ahead of you can.

Was just discussing this with a colleague. Apparently a monthly pass isn't activated until you tag on so you could go and stock up on Snapper cards at $10 - $12 a pop and pre-load monthlies and start using those in subsequent months.

Sometimes I use big words I don't always fully understand in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis.

1/2 price fares in Wallington probably wont end on 30 June, ...

The council aren't able to roll out the free kids and 1/2 price under 15 yet ( they currently hold no age info for snapper users)..

So there is a special regional council meeting tomorrow (22nd) , that is likely to approve an extension of 1/2 price for every one until some time in August...

Yes, but Its pretty hard to detect pre loading for RUC, unless its really blatant
