petrol

91 octane petrol rose another NZ$0.12 to a new high of NZ$2.129/litre.

NZ$2.129/litre = NZ$8.059/gallon (US).

This marks the first time the price of petrol has exceeded NZ$8.00 per gallon (US).

I filled up the Echo yesterday (34.15L) for NZ$70.67 – the first time a full tank of petrol cost over NZ$70.00.

= NZ$7.45/US gallon for 91 octane, the lowest octane fuel available in NZ.

The good is I don’t have to buy petrol for another week; the bad is petrol will be more expensive by then (:

Here is Christchurch petrol (gasoline) is now NZ$1.859/liter (NZ$7.09 per US gallon) for 91 octane, the lowest grade unleaded available in New Zealand. I just filled up our little Toyota Echo – 34.61 liters (a bit over nine US gallons) – for NZ$64.34.

Ouch!

I am glad we have an economical car. Our Toyota Echo consistently achieves 5.8 liters/100 km (roughly 40 miles per US gallon.) I can usually drive around 550 km (340 miles) on one tank of petrol and fill up about once every two weeks.

Happy Motoring,
steven
