Not missing the opportunity to promote their “green credentials”, Gull
Petroleum offered a special biofuels price reduction to mark the
Copenhagen summit.
The eight cent per litre discount applied to both of Gull's
biofuels: Gull Force 10 (98 octane) and Gull Regular Plus (91 octane).
Both contain 10 per cent bio ethanol; a renewable fuel that emits
significantly less greenhouse gasses than regular petrol.
Dave Bodger, General Manager of Gull New Zealand says that there is no
silver bullet for reducing emissions, but there are many simple things
any Kiwi motorist can do to make the future cleaner for their children
and grandchildren.
"Turn off unused appliances, walk to school or work, keep a bottle of
tap water in the fridge instead of buying another piece of plastic to
throw away, and use biofuels in your vehicle. It's all quite simple and
it will save you cash as well.
Premium 98 octane Gull Force 10 was the first biofuel sold in New
Zealand, launched in August 2007, and is available at all Gull Service
Stations. Gull Regular Plus, launched in August 2008, is available at
over 20 per cent of Gull's outlets.
Gull is also a signatory of the Copenhagen Communiqu, which calls for
an ambitious, robust and equitable global deal on climate change that
responds credibly to the scale and urgency of the crises facing the
world today. Bodger adds, "Gull Regular Plus is already two cents per
litre below the market price set at the vast majority of our
oppositions sites for "Regular" petrol. During this discount Gull
Regular Plus is 10 cents per litre below the oppositions' 91 octane
petrol."
