Gull Holds Prices

Second price rise before the weekend unfair on customers

Auckland, 05 July 2013 – Gull, New Zealand’s only family owned independent fuel retailer today confirmed it was holding prices until after the weekend, despite competitors raising prices twice this week.

A price rise at this time isn’t fair on customers says Dave Bodger, General Manager, Gull New Zealand.

“Customers are most likely fill up towards the end of the week, after pay day, or on the weekend. We’re in it for the kiwi motorist and won’t be raising prices until after the weekend.

“We note that the rest of the market has moved up, but we won’t be.”
