The Government has announced that fuel prices will lower as soon as the next few hours after the recent fuel price increase that took place last Friday.

Fuel excise duties and road user charges have been reduced by 25 cents a litre for the next three months. This will take effect from 11.59pm tonight.

From April 1st all public transport fares will be halved for three months. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern told reporters,

"We expect continued volatility, and this affects everything."

So if your car is looking a little empty today, make sure you wait until tomorrow to fuel up!
