Petrol prices war takes another turn
Updated 3:50PM Friday May 11, 2007
Gull has again upped the ante in the petrol price war this afternoon, increasing the savings at most service stations to 7c a litre until 7am on Monday morning.
A new battle erupted with fuel companies vying with each other for motorists' custom.
Gull started the war by offering 5c off a litre of petrol until 7pm today.
Shell and Caltex quickly followed by reducing the price of petrol by 6c a litre.
Then BP announced it was increasing the discount for its weekend promotion to 7 cents per litre. This discount applies to both petrol and diesel at participating service stations.
BP Managing Director Peter Griffiths "this weekend is now an even better time to fuel up at BP. For customers using a valid discount Fuel Docket from participating New World and Pak'nSave supermarkets, they will be able to get a total saving of at least 11 cents per litre. Now that's a real Mothers Day present."
Gull has now come back with its latest offering.
