Petrol prices drop

Motorists might want to fill up on the way to work.

Shell has dropped its petrol prices. Ninety-one grade (regular) petrol is down three cents to $1.33.9, while 96 (super) is down two cents to $1.38.9.

Shell says it follows a decrease in the local price of finished oil.


The other major petrol retailers all matched Shell's price cut.


Caltex spokesman John Kerr said the drop reflected decreasing international prices and a strong New Zealand dollar.
