Is this still the case, or did it turn out to be for just a few hours on the day?

I haven't been back as I filled the car and a couple of fuel cans as well.

I have noticed though that none of the other service stations in the area lowered their pricing (except Pak n Save)

Even 1.96 is'n that cheap - petrol in Rotorua was only 189.9 in Rotorua last week and was that in many parts of Auckland.

gmball: Botany Downs Auckland, $1.88 per liter for UL 91. 

And I bet their 98 is still $2.30 per litre :(



Yes I noticed this too, bummer that. I no longer go out of my way to go to the cheaper stations around Takanini/ Manurewa

Holy Crap batman! I get about 10% worse economy on Gull's 98 but that is a great saving!

Hopefully the BP at Takanini is also discounting 98 as my car was specifically tuned to that not the 10% ethanol crap.

I recently have up on BP as their pricing was so out of touch with everyone else.  I use either Mobile 98 or Gull 98.

Out of interest, what car do you have? I am curious as to why you think it is crap.  My car (MKIV Golf R32) is fine on E10 fuel.

91 is $1.83.9 in Whangarei today, at most stations, as Gull are doing 10c off until midday tomorrow.
Caltex also doing 8c off tomorrow for AA Smartfuel so will go and fill up there tomorrow. :)




Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.
