Petrol prices NZ

"This is the start of a wave and I think the wave will get stronger and bigger over time because pretty well all car manufacturers from Europe, and even now more from Japan, are signalling that they're going to go electric - so we've got to click into it," Gilbert said.

He said that would last him a few days but he was only using his car for essential travel at the moment - rising fuel prices have hit his budget hard. "And I got 12.6 litres which is crazy - this is more than petrol was this time last year, it's more than 91 was - where are we going from here?"
