Cheapest and dearest gas prices in Raglan

160325TeUkuPricesBay of Plenty journalist Elaine Fisher took a road trip in March and noted down the gas prices for 91 Unleaded that she found along the way. She found the cheapest and the dearest prices in the Raglan area.

Coast & Country News editor Elaine Fisher, said, “Interestingly I found the cheapest, $159.9, and the dearest, $181.9 at Raglan. The small Te Uku Waitomo brand petrol station, just outside Raglan, had the cheapest price while the dearest was in Raglan itself at the BP station.”

The Te Uku station is a self service card payment operation located outside the Te Uku Four Square. Waitomo Petroleum is a 100% NZ owned company based in Te Kuiti.

While journalist Elaine Fisher’s road trip was enlightening, these days this information is available on the web at http://www.pricewatch.co.nz/ and updated daily based on EFTPOS transcations. Thursday 24th’s price for 91 at BP Raglan was $1.829. In Hamilton the cheapest price was $1.559 at the Mobil on the Lake Rd & Mill St corner.

We are fortunate to have the Waitomo option so handy. Of course when buying petrol, service, supporting local businesses and convenience are other factors that come into the purchasing decision.
