But wether it's a cunning ploy to get product through quickly, I don't know," he said. “A lot of people gave up and drove off. All were worried about what impact the prices increases would have on them. Another of the three petrol stations on Fitzgerald Ave had also run out of 91. “But it's like saying Briscoes is going to put the prices of their toasters up and everybody thinks every toaster on the planet is going to go up.” Finance Minister Grant Robertson said on Thursday it was “not the end of the road” for petrol and diesel price hikes. Despite the queues stretching down the street Perera said he hadn't had to wait long to get to the front of the queue. “I was shocked to turn up and see the amount of cars in the queue,” she said. The queues took up enough of the street there was a police officer on hand to keep an eye on proceedings from a distance. The price of 91 was $2.69 a litre at Waitomo Fitzgerald in Christchurch. 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. Petrol prices topped $3.50 in most parts of the country this week, but were expected to increase up to 30 cents for diesel and 20 cents for petrol.

Fill up now: Warning to motorists before next big petrol hike (Newstalk ZB)

Fuel up now before the next big petrol price hike. That's the warning issued this morning by Waitomo group managing director Jimmy Ormsby to Kiwi motorist.

Trends charted by fuel price app Gaspy show that average fuel prices have risen from around $1.85 in May 2020 to almost $3 on March 9 this year for 91. With European nations breaking ties with Europe, they will be forced to source their fuel from the same markets that New Zealand relies on for its oil. 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. New Zealand, of course, isn't the only country to be struggling with a massive increase in fuel prices, with the impact being felt around the world.

Will fuel prices go down? Why petrol costs are so high and when the ... (iNews)

Wholesale petrol and diesel prices have started to drop, offering motorists a glimmer of hope that pump prices will fall too.

They reached their highest level since 2008 earlier this week, closing in on $140 a barrel, leading to predictions that they could eventually surpass $200 a barrel. Cold weather and winter driving conditions can significantly affect a vehicle’s fuel efficiency. He added: “The squeeze on the finances of families with cars continues but the apocalyptic pump price predictions seem much less likely to happen.” “Ironically, motorists rushing to fill up and beat pump price surges the weekend before last may have accelerated pump price rises.” “A slump in the oil price over the past two days has dragged the wholesale cost of petrol and diesel down with it – too late to influence pump prices this weekend but sufficient to offer the hope that pump prices may now level off and hopefully fall somewhat,” Mr Bosdet said. New pump price records have been set daily this week, with the average cost rising 5.4 pence per litre since Sunday. This has added nearly £3 to the cost of filling up a typical 55-litre tank in a week, bringing the bill to just over £88.50, the AA said.
