Gull pricing analyst Rohan Mehta said Kiwis had been feeling the impact of soaring global oil prices and a depreciating NZ dollar for weeks.
"Here at Gull, we decided to offer some relief to Kiwi motorists by providing 12 cents off per litre discount at the pumps, further increasing the price gap between Gull and the other oil majors.
"Our discount day offer isn't restricted by a minimum dollar fill or maximum litre fill. We're simply dropping our price boards and pump prices for everyone to enjoy the discount."

Chetwin backed the proposal to give the Commerce Commission extra powers to investigate collusion among petrol companies to identify whether uncompetitive practices by fuel companies were behind price rises easier.

Taxes, including a nearly 60c per litre excise, made up a large chunk of fuel prices, something many motorists may not realise, he said.
