A queue of cars extended down Fitzgerald Ave. Petrol stations in the North Shore, Christchurch and Palmerston North had queues as people tried to beat the price hikes.

Come spend a few hours pumping gas with me to get a good taste of how tough it is for many Kiwis just trying to put food on the table," Mr Ormsby said. Asked why there was such a massive difference between the price of fuel in Australia and New Zealand, Collins said tax was the single biggest contributing factor. Headlines across the ditch earlier this week bemoaned the possibility of the price of fuel rising to A$2.50 (NZ$2.68), with prices currently sitting at A$2.20 (NZ$2.36) in Sydney and A$2 (NZ$2.14) in Melbourne.
