Public fuel monitoring

Live NZ petrol & diesel prices & supply

National pump benchmarks (MBIE weekly track), crude and FX, supply modelling, and shipping — refreshed hourly from public data. Expand sections for methodology and limits.

Pump figures follow MBIE weekly fuel price monitoring: population-weighted board data adjusted to CPI so discounts and loyalty schemes are reflected in the adjusted retail price consumers actually pay. Brent crude and NZD/USD show import-cost pressure; the supply ledger models coastal arrivals, land storage, and today’s draw — use Commerce Commission quarterly fuel monitoring for official importer margins and refined product costs.

Public service, open methodology

Pump figures follow MBIE’s weekly adjusted national averages (not live forecourt boards). The dashboard refreshes hourly so crude, supply modelling, and shipping context stay current between MBIE releases.

About this desk →

  • Primary public sources

    MBIE fuel price monitoring, Commerce Commission market reports, MBIE stock & shipping updates, and AIS ship positions matched to published vessel names.

  • Limits stated upfront

    We show national aggregates and models — not Z/BP/Mobil price boards, cargo volumes, or official statistics. Regulators remain the authority for disputes.

  • Separate from service pricing

    Misfuel recovery fees and dispatch pricing live on our rate card. This desk is civic-style context — no login, no paywall.

Supply movements — inbound vs outbound (365 days)

Modelled national ledger (not port telemetry): each week sums daily coastal imports (green) and domestic draw (red) over the last 365 days; blue dots = land storage at week-end (million litres). Recent days may refine from hourly snapshots.
