    The Mobil on East Tamaki Rd is often the cheapest around, it's between the motorway and office for me. I steer clear of Mobil tho, not sure if they use ethanol. The Caltex further down, past Preston Rd is very close behind, along with the Shell over by Botany Town Centre (but not the other 3 Shells in the area).

    Best buy is Caltex at cheap price, AA smartfuel card and spend at least $40. 6c off per litre

    Generally speaking fuel is cheaper in poor areas and more expensive in affluent areas.

    the shell on ash st out in avondale (west) is always the cheapest for us excluding the gull biofuel crap, currently sitting at 2.02 I believe. most of the ones around west are 2.02-2.07 with a couple in new lynn out at 2.10 (despite shell being 30sec around the corner). and if you heaed further to swanson it goes to 1.99 at bp and mobil. I reckon everyone just charges more because they can, I don't believe the price of oil has gone up much has it? and our exchange rate is high...

    If the guys selling gas at 18cents per litre more dropped their prices, they would probarbly gain very few extra sales and would just be giving away margin.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

    You're right about the fuel being cheaper in the poor areas etc, I read a NZ Herald article about it late last year.

    Mobil have a page with a link to the sites that sell ethanol blended fuel:http://www.mobil.co.nz/New_Zealand-E...cts_fuels.aspx

    Best buy for me is supermarket pumps, my bike tops out at around 37$ but the supermarkets give me at-least 3c off for buying lunch, a snack or drink
