Caltex Meadowlands Petrol High Price $2.68l

Roger from Somerville

Those of us in Somerville / Howick area appear to be
Being taken advantage of by our local Caltex Meadowland Drive/Whitford Road. For some time leading yo to the Auckland Fuel Tax being removed they were 10/11cents per Litre higher than most local outlets comparing similar reward prices. They still remain 10/11 cents more per litre.
This morning just an example $267.9 per litre. BP by K Mart $256.9 per litre. Even cheaper around Highbrook I noticed. I wrote to Caltex som3 weeks ago and received the reply “ it is just local competition”.
My advice - Do not use Caltex Meadowlands until the message gets through that we are not lazy local idiots to be taken advantage of.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
