Gull is lowering fuel prices by 10c per litre as of 7am today (March 26), and the price drop wil remain in place until noon on Friday (March 27).

'At Gull we understand that Kiwis would rather spend their money on Easter eggs and hot cross buns than fuel,” says general manager of Gull New Zealand, Dave Bodger.

Gull have announced a fuel sale, which will run until noon on Friday.

'We are pleased to offer additional discounts off our already low prices at the pump today.”

'This week, petrol prices around the country dipped another 2 cents per litre, and today we are taking that one step further by dropping our prices further.”

Prices at sites where Gull controls the price will be no higher than $1.799 for Regular 91, with some prices as low as $1.549 for regular grade fuel.

The lowest price of 0.909 cents is for diesel.

There are three Gull service stations in the area, on Hewletts Road, Mount Maunganui, Fraser Street in Merivale and on Cross Road at Sulphur Point.
