Gull has biofuel blend, no tax on the biofuel.

Because gull is cheap rubbish

There are far more price variations than that. Prices differ not across different brands, but some differ between types of fuel (one will discount regular, another will discount premium) and across regions. My nearest Gull is actually slightly higher priced than the nearby Z (Shell). But tomorrow that might change again.

i must admit i did have trouble with gull in my boat and will not use it in that any more as its not meant for marine use as far as i know

There is a school of thought that says biofuel is less efficient than regular fuel, negating any savings. But that is far from proven.

Between $4 and $8 on a tank (depending on size). I'd hardly call that 'huge'

hey moneys tough these days and without sounding like a miser the thought of having two extra loaves of bread or more in the cuboard sells me

Every cent counts these day, say you go through a tank a week. Thats 8 bucks times 52 = 416 a year.

exactly also my truck is not that fantastic on fuel

But that's what you have to check out. It may cost less for a tank, but is that tank of biofuel getting you as far! If it is that important to save a few bucks, you should do an accurate check.

If you do a couple of accurate milage tests, ithink you will most ikely find spending the extra 8 dollars is very worthwhile excercise.

Gull blends their fuel with ethanol, hence cheaper product to produce, though your car won't go as far on a tank or 'regular' pterol

LOL, That's all so true,well you guys got it so sweet! Over here in Paradise Sth Island West coast we have to pay $2.23+/- 01c That's 91 so if ya have a classic v8 I only put 96 or 98 if I go Sth 100km. I don't even look anymore $2.34 I think last time I looked.

Gotta scratch your head when the big BP is 2.12 and the small independent BP is 2.02 , and the Mobil round the corner is the same.
Then the Gull in New Lynn is the same price as the BP across the rd at 2.10 , so whos ripping who there!
