Fuel Budget and Petrol Prices

Here is a rough guide on what to expect to spend on petrol for your New Zealand vacation. All petrol prices and exchange rates change daily, but we hope this helps a bit.

For a normal 1600-2000cc car allow 8-10 litres of petrol per 100Km

For a van it could be 10-13 litres of petrol per 100Km

1 mile = 1.61Km

This should help you work out your travelling budget.

Petrol prices are getting so out of control that there are emails going around to stop going to BP, so it forces them to drop their prices. Calls have also gone out for the government to drop GST and other tax on fuel. But with the extra money they are making out of the increased price why would they do that.
