    There is still a Gull in albany, just up the road from Massey Uni (on the same road it's on, not the one the megacentre's on, just round the corner). Plus there are two on Ti Rakau Drive.

    It's a shame, when Gull first came onto the market they were cheaper than the others. But the bigguns just kept matching their price whereever they had stations close by. So now Gull doesn't have much choice... just the same price as everyone else.

    the best gas to use is the mobil synergy 8000, it is a guarenteed(sp?) at least 97.5 octane and is usually a lot higher, the only mobile around that i know sells it is on constellation drive just past the motorway.
    the other gas's (BP and gull) are not guarenteed to be of a certain level so often fall miserably short of the 98 mark
