In 2022, the average price of premium petrol was around 2.87 New Zealand dollars per liter, while regular petrol was priced at around 2.68 New Zealand dollars per liter. This represented a price increase for both premium and regular petrol compared with the previous year.
The New Zealand government collects around one NZD per liter in the form of a petrol tax. Most of this is a fuel excise made up of national and local taxes and levies. Additionally, motorists in New Zealand are charged GST on the fuel excise. The taxation on diesel fuel is slightly different. While the price per liter for diesel fuel was less expensive at the pump, diesel vehicle owners must pay Road User Charges.
