Gull Pushes Petrol Below $2

Gull Pushes Petrol Below $2

‘Fill ‘er up’ suddenly doesn’t sound quite as daunting. Gull, New Zealand’s independent family-owned oil company, has this morning, at 7am, dropped the price of 91 petrol to $1.999 a litre, with prices at some sites as low as $1.899 per litre.

The bold move sees the most popular petrol in New Zealand, Regular 91, sit below $2 (not on promotion) for the first time in more than two years and the notorious challenger brand is delighted to again lead the way in price drops.

“With the stabilisation of international barrel prices we are delighted to be in the position to pass on significant savings to our customers, petrol at all Gull controlled sites is now back under $2 a litre,” says Dave Bodger, General Manager of Gull New Zealand.

“No voucher is needed, no special card to swipe, this is a saving for all customers across the board that starts now and will last for as long as international pricing allows. Of course, motorists can save even more when using Countdown supermarket vouchers at Gull.”

The maximum $1.999 per litre pricing is applicable to all Gull sites from Whangarei to Masterton, where Gull controls pricing.

This is not the first time Gull has lead price drops, in fact they consider it their modus operandi.

“We are determined to deliver on our promise to keep petrol prices as low as possible for Kiwis. By dropping 91 petrol to less than $2 a litre we believe we are offering the best value and keeping our competition on their toes. We expect they will follow suit but that’s how the ‘Gull Effect’ works,” Bodger concludes.
