Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS (Minister of Energy and Resources): The most immediate response I saw to the Government's announcement to cut fuel excise by 25c per litre was fuel prices across New Zealand dropping. Little over an hour after the announcement, prices at the pump started falling. From the lowest fuel price in Greymouth, there was a 29c per litre fall in the price of Regular 91 today, compared to Monday. For the lowest fuel price in Auckland, there was a 31c per litre fall in the price of Regular 91, Monday to Tuesday, and a 29c fall in Hastings, and these figures show our reduction in excise is already making a big difference to consumers across the country.
