The great Wellington fuel rip-off
Having just returned from a road trip to Gisborne, 1300km, we kept an eye on fuel prices along the way. Left UH on Thursday and the fuel prices for low octane was $2.04.9/ltr so filled up in Masterton. $1.79.9/ltr (.BEFORE claiming on the AA fuel card) Good price and so near to home too.
From there on they started to vary slightly, highest-- 1 little county fuel stop at $1.91.9, and lowest outside of Masterton,-- $1.81.9 in Palmerston North at a "Waitomo Fuels" station in Tremain ave on the way home. In between they varied slightly around the $184.9 to $1.89.9 mark. Gisborne being $1.85.9.
We arrive home today, Monday 30th and local fuel here has gone up to $2.06.9/ltr. TWO DOLLARS AND SIX POINT NINE CENTS.
Now can anyone tell me WHY we pay such high prices. The shipping fuel storage is at Seatoun. Palmerstons has to be trucked overland. Wairoa's has to be trucked in over mountainous hills and ours needs delivering up to 50km on flat sealed highways.
The sooner Northern Fuels brings competition here the better me thinks. Whats your opinion on the local fuel situation? are we paying a built-in levy somewhere?? You tell me.
