Great thread, this list needs to be a sticky.
what about a seperate list of the non 24hr stations in smaller towns, an their opening hrs if known, for those who may not have the range, and its always good to support the small guy.

Accordingly, I haven't added it yet. I will once someone can confirm.
I plan to eventually have the entire list of all 24/7 stations in an excel sheet, but the companies are unable to provide a list of only 24/7, so its not a case of merging a few sheets. (I'll probably have to work backwards, have all stations country wide, and remove those that aren't 24/7)
Ultimately, I see a sheet with brand, address, city, country wide, but for the moment, a shortlist of centres/towns is better than nothing.

In Gisborne you can add the Caltex on Gladstone Road. The main road through town.
Locals may know better but the Shell Burger King and BP 2Go Kaiti are open very late and the BP does 98. The pump jockey at BP Kaiti said they were going 24hr after their refit but it will need confirming.
Hawkes Bay has the good ol' BP Express Service Station at Bayview.
It may be worth noting that some smaller towns used to run a roster system whan at least one petrol station was open at a particular time. Wairoa was like that years ago.
Further success tonight. Despite most companies coming back saying they don't have details on 24/7 status, I have found some of the companies list it under advanced details, so it is possible to gain a lot this way (and soooo fun bringing up each one and pulling the details from it).
So far, I have put in Caltex, GAS, Gull, with Shell to come. The xls file is attached to the first post. Feel free to check it and give me any feedback, as I have my suspicions (eg, I could have sworn the Gull in Tairua was closed on Thurs in the early hours).
With the companies unable to provide info, its going to be real fun continually keeping this knowledge up to date, and the first post will have the latest file.
I'll continue to keep tracking stations in two ways at the moment, while the spreadsheet is not complete, and then switch to the spreadsheet once it has all companies.
