Petrol price increases

[lanci]

Go to the herald and type in "BP petrol" in the search function. Look for the usual price increase instigator.

Now I'm not saying BP are the only ones to do it but it is food for thought.......

Yep, dirty bastards, i stopped buying from them ages ago when for about a month they were 1c more expensive than the shell and mobil accross the road??

"Gull NZ general manager Dave Bodger said last night he found the price rises puzzling, as there did not appear to have been any major overseas fluctuations"

Yep those fuckers are the first fleecing maggots to raise prices, and of course all the others do likewise. Apparently BP control all fuel prices in NZ. I refuse to buy petrol there. I will buy butter chicken pies there though. However the worst pirate is Michael Cullen as something like 50% is tax. Excise tax first then GST, so you're paying GST on tax. Tax on tax so's to speak.

They all deserve the bash.

Running out of petrol = go to nearest gas station.

Either way you have to pay it, who gives a shit. I mean c'mon.

Oh noes 1 cent more than the other place, wow 17 cents extra for my entire fill up

government has alot to answer for with all that taxing. you get taxed when you get paid, you get taxed when you buy stuff, and you get taxed if you save. gay

Fact is yhou have to buy it regardless of the price, if it was $5 a litre i would still buy it.

It's a part of life, deal with it.

Easy for you to say mate but I suspect you would buy a lot less. I run 2 cars, a bike and a boat. Fair to say the boat hasn't seen much action lately.

Wow - a petrol price rise just before a long weekend when people will be driving longer distances and...

... am I just being cybical - or will they reclaim some QDOS by dropping it by that same 3 cents (or possibly only 2...) just after the long weekend is finished...

If it ever did get to $5 litre..then it would be bye bye bike for me.

Even with the way prices are going at the moment, some days i question weather i need the extra expense or just admit defeat and catch the bus.

really....? for me it would be bye bye cage...and definately keep the 250!

It will keep going up if your prepared to pay for it. If they can raise the price and people will still buy gas then it was obviously too cheap if the first place wasn't it. The only way it will go down is if everyone decides its too expensive to drive unless its absolutely necessary and thats not going to happen for a while.

And yes I hate paying $30 to fill up
