Mobil 98 petrol

**Moise** · 24th September 2016, 07:11

Looks like they are changing from 95 to 98 at all of their service stations, but keeping the price the same. $1.85 per litre in Manurewa yesterday compared to $2.10 for Ultimate at BP Greenlane.

We have Gulf down here in the Horowhenua which keep the prices at some of the lowest in the country.
$1.61 last week for 91 Oct.
I use this in an almost new Falcooon ,works just fine.
The bike gets a diet of 95 Oct .

I note we're back at $1.73 this week .(for 91 that is.)

I remember when it hit $1 per liter. You would have thought the world was going to end.
I was in NZ when it hit $2 per liter. You would have thought the world was going to end.

I don't look at the per liter cost - just the final bill ......

Highly unlikely they'll ditch 95 for 98, the logistics behind such a move simply don't work at present.

Friday as in yesterday was just another price war day, so you'd have seen bigger variations than normal, depending on whether individual sites were partaking in the price drop or not. It's that simple.

You must be old enough to be nearly dead...

Remember careless days...what a cock up that was.

It's happening. I have some Mobil gift cards to use up, and every place I've been in the last fortnight, including Kopu, had 98. Even some of the smaller stations have changed over.

Just checked the fine print on their website. The 98 is E10, so no more for the R1. Back to Ultimate.

Edit:. Read that wrong, it's just some Wellington stations that have E10. That's confusing!
