1413066 2015-12-17 00:12:00 Just paid $1.36/L for 91 in Otara

The pump price was $1.499/L - low enough and about par today for South Auckland pump prices - and combined with a discount on the Caltex AA Smartfuel scheme that gave me a net $1.36/L. No complaints as I was almost running on empty, and filled up at that price.

Pity we can't count on that price year round :D

Over here it was $1.59 Swanson Rd, $1.53 Henderson valley Rd.

From memory, about $1 . 10-$1 . 15 when I was there last week .

Apples with apples guys .

Different economies, different currencies . This is a case for where Big Mac Index comparisons make sense .

Back home n Godzone, we're talking about costs that impact us where it hurts - in the wallets of those in West Auckland, Orara, or the Mainland; not visitors to Oz .

Today's prices were triggered by Gull introducing a one day special price . Immediately countered by Caltex with an almost identical price . In south Auckland, at least .

P . S . I have it on the reliable authority of my favourite vstation, the C*lt*x pricing runs until midday tomorrow :)

1413072 2015-12-17 06:16:00 That, and apparently Australia has less tax on petrol than we do. :p pcuser42 (130)
1413073 2015-12-17 07:17:00 That, and apparently Australia has less tax on petrol than we do. :p

Yup, but what about the extra local, state, and federal taxes one pays? Apples with apples! Let's go back to the Big Mac Index economy.

Yeah....In Swanson Rd there is a BP, Gull and Mobil.
Gull started, the other 2 copied so they were all $1.59.

Son tried to fill up at the other one - $1.53 - last night but the queue was up the road so he came round to the Mobil on Swanson Rd instead.....
