This part is interesting for those who live in areas with high prices:

"Share everywhere, use anywhere. Fill your Sharetank in Tauranga. Share it with Gran in Timaru. Add pre-paid litres in Cambridge. Fill up in Christchurch."

Geographical arbitrage ...

Forgive me asking the obvious but does that in some way allow someone to get around Auckland's highway robbery fuel tax ?

Exactly what I was thinking Beagle. Looks like it does and shows once again that people will always find ways to avoid silly taxes !

Not too subtle payback / preemptive strike against regulators for the perceived injustice of the fuel price study ? ZEL skating on thin ice with the regulators with this app in my opinion.

Fuel prices in NZ contain several taxes and levies. When you fill up at a Z station, these are included in the pump price. Because Sharetank searches for the lowest Z pump price within a 30km radius, fuel taxes and levies—where applicable—are included when you top-up. There’s no need to pay anything extra when you redeem your Sharetank litres.

So if the top-up location is within the Auckland fuel-tax area then presumably the tax is paid even if the fuel is redeemed elsewhere!

... but does seem to be a way to avoid the tax by using the reverse strategy.

But if you ‘top up’ in Wellington (and other places) then you’ll be paying most of the levy anyway

But then again somebody told me the levy is calculated on deliveries to the outlet anyway

Petrol is pretty cheap here in Whanganui in a regular basis
Z here today $2.04

Not sure that it would be worth the hassle of sharktanking for mates even if they were in Auckland though?

We need to develop our own sharetrader/sharetanking app to make it easy

Long way to drive to top up Peat.

Long way to drive to top up Peat.

I'm going to investigate coz my mate has a rotor and you know what they're like for fuel.
