Notes

RON = Research Octane Number

Diesel is not subject to excise because diesel vehicles are all subject to road user taxes, which help to fund New Zealand Transport Agency.

Indirect charges such as Energy Resources Levy (ERL) which only apply on LPG and CNG produced from certain oil and gas fields are not included here.
