So there has been a small amount of talk in the last few months about petrol prices and some talk about the price difference between the north and south islands.
YES there is a difference, every time I am in the north I am in awe about the prices and also how much fluctuation there is between stations that are only hundreds of metres apart at times.
I understand there are transport costs involved however this would probably add a very minimal amount to the per litre price. I hope that the commerce commission gets the power to fix this and that the south island is no longer subsidising Aucklands lower prices.
