    Mind you Beagle WGTN and the SI are still paying as much or in most cases more than those living in AK even with your extra tax.

    Wellington prices have plummeted of late and are now even cheaper than the likes of Levin (which, with a Gull and an Allied have typically had prices cheaper than Wellington by up to 20c per litre).

    Another recent change has Z being a bit a price leader in some areas rather than more expensive. A recent talk on an NZSA evening had Caltex described as the cheaper brand of the two with Z as the more expensive, especially with its forecourt service. This appears to have gone by-the-by.

    There's no way you can buy petrol anywhere in WGTN cheaper than Levin, got some in Levin last week and it was still cheaper.

    I agree with your points (in relation to Z Energy); others just a short time ago did not and it seems may have performed a volte-face...

    Stop speaking for everyone beagle, speak for yourself alone. Maybe bury that bone and sit on it guarding without sleeping,you've gnawed long enough.

    The more reviews the better imo after 9 years of complacency by the previous nocaretakers . New broom doing some sweeping.The hypocrisy here from someone who bags it then buys it.But thats par for the course, many times.

    Fuel taxes are an unfair* regressive tax. They disproportionately hit poorer taxpayers, whose transport costs often comprise a greater percentage of disposable income/ assets. Poorer taxpayers often have to live further from their place of work and may need to shift house frequently.

    *Good quality roads increase the value of all real estate serviced by the roads. Consequently it should be property owners who should contribute more to roading costs.

    Everyone likes to bleat about fuel prices. Its a hot topic of conversation especially in Auckland so get over it and by the way I only ever speak for myself. Some more real analysis on your part rather than critique of others wouldn't hurt.

    ZEL are consistently the dearest in surrounding suburbs here and I can't help wonder if their strategy of forecourt concierge and factoring in those labour costs to their pricing isn't somewhat conceptually flawed. I think in this market that people simply want the cheapest price they can get.
