For the details of the tax component please see Duties, Taxes and Direct Levies on Motor Fuels (Excluding GST) (Cents per Litre). Diesel vehicle users must also pay road user charges on a per km basis, which is not included in the data and graphs on this webpage.
Graph 7, above, is the same structure as Graph 6, except that it focuses on diesel. No revision for the quality premium for diesel (US$0.5 per barrel) has been made in light of the New Zealand Petrol Review (www.med.govt.nz/nzpetrolreview).
