On Friday morning, some Pak\u2019nSave and New World petrol stores had closed their stations because they were empty and awaiting delivery.<\/p>\n

Pak\u2019nSave Kilbirnie in Wellington was out of 95 and 91 petrol, but 98 and diesel were still available.<\/p>\n

New World Levin had been waiting for more than two days. Consequently, the Gull station across the road was busy.<\/p>\n

Tasman Fuels in Auckland\u2019s Milford was out of supplies on Friday, as were Pioneer New World in Palmerston North and Pak\u2019nSave H\u0101wera.<\/p>\n

A Foodstuffs spokesperson said fuel was available across its New World and Pak\u2019nSave sites and there was plenty of supply.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe increased demand has meant some sites have temporarily run out<\/a> ahead of scheduled deliveries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Foodstuffs said there were no changes to its fuel discount programme at this time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe continue to closely monitor demand<\/a> and work proactively with our suppliers to maintain continuity at all sites.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pak\u2019nSave K\u0101piti said it had been without stock but was refilled overnight.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re still operating on a day-to-day basis as demand remains high and our supplier is finding it challenging to keep up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Waiheke Local Board deputy chairman Damian Sycamore said Waiheke Island has three stations where 91 petrol is above $3.80 and 95 more than $4.<\/p>\n

He said the price increases will impact almost everything people do on the island and will likely result in ferry prices rising.<\/p>\n

Sycamore said for those who can\u2019t afford a 40-trip ferry ticket at $700, it will cost over $20 each way for a passenger on the ferry to Auckland downtown.<\/p>\n

Overnight, petrol price app Gaspy updated to allow it to remove stores\/stations from the site when they have run out of fuel.<\/p>\n
