"... $2.41 per litre for premium 98 octane petrol ..."
Before us Yankees get all excited, I believe this is per the 'research' =
method. In the 'States we use the average of the research and motor =
methods, and there's generally a 7-8 octane point spread between the =
two, so this would be equivalent to 93-94-octane here.
"... NO ethanol content ..."
Now, THIS gets me excited! I presume NZ doesn't have corn =
mega-agribusiness shoving their product into our cars. =20
Nope. Not a whisper from ANY farming lobby groups down here. We =
don=E2=80=99t like ethanol in our gas. I don=E2=80=99t think some of us =
Kiwis realise just how lucky we are. =20
When I feel indulgent, I buy AvGas from one of the flight companies at =
our local Ardmore aerodrome. The Healeys just LOVE it. They =
don=E2=80=99t very often get to enjoy grey tail pipes. =F0=9F=98=89

At the current USD v NZD exchange rate of 73 cents, that is US$1.76 per =

Imperial gallon.
I got 27.5 mpg from our tri-carb on a 2,278 mile trip to our National =

The car LOVES being back home in Auckland.

In the Auckland region we pay an extra 10 cents plus tax to fund roading =

tell us it=E2=80=99s going.
Frankly, I think a lot of that money is funding the literally hundreds =
