same here, i stop using it when petrol got cheap and kept my sharetank amount for times like this.
I guess Z are now worried about prices going up further and have cut off buying more
Sharetank top ups unavailable
Sharetank top ups are currently unavailable. You can still use your existing Sharetank balance as normal.Thats why i purchased before, the effects of this war is going to run on for a long time.
Probably was a good idea at the start of March but right now mine shows $3.05/ltr.
There's also a danger/risk of them not be able to supply your pre-purchased fuel if supply runs out.
please explain?
well..
If situation goes from bad to worse (worst?), then we don't get fuel shipment to the country, no matter how many liter you have pre-purchased, you won't be able to get them if the Z station isn't able to sell you petrol.
yes but it never expires so z will eventually refuel and you can tide out cheap fuel until they do
I remember checking Sharetank 1.5 weeks ago and it was showing $2.50. Now it's $3 so yeah, damn lol
Looked into it but was considerably more expensive than my local fill up so haven't. Good idea and definitely could save in the long run (but bit of a gamble)
It's probably too late now unless prices rise further. Best to have done it a week ago when petrol was $2.60. I preemptively top up my sharetank when missles are flying in the middle east.
Yep purchased $1k of 95 at 2.65 a week or two back when it looked like prices were gonna go up
Means can go to the z stations knowing there will likely be plenty of fuel there given they are more pricey and less in demand
Never left it.
Living in a high fuel price region, and working island wide, I have the opportunity to take advantage of cheaper fuel.
Feeling bit smug atm, bit like electric vehicle owners lol
After seeing the scramble back home with fuel i jumped onto it on 4th march i bought 155L for $1.55 in welly, i probably should have bought more because that should only last until December thats one thing you guys have that Australia doesnt the pre buy fuel its a game changer! Note: look at Auckland for the petrol trend for NZ…. BP is usually first
I was a bit late but bought 155L last week at $2.83. It was $2.63 the previous day. It's now over $3. I still have 40L left from 100 that I bought for $2.43 a while back.
But like someone else said, Sharetank isn't any help if Z runs out of petrol.
They will be one of the last to run out though if they are more expensive than the others
Feeling pretty pleased now, I have to say. Petrol is currently $3.26 at my local.
Given that they have now stopped Sharetank top ups it makes me think they believe the price will go considerably higher.
Its a loop hole they had to close.
Haven't gone to Z for ages. Just checked the app, still have 108L of petrol 91 which I paid $2.25/L during Covid. So probably still a good option to stock up when the fuel prices are low even Z is usually not the cheapest.
