Gull launches Gull Diesel Max

Gull New Zealand announced that it has sourced biodiesel from Environ Fuels, New Zealands leading biodiesel manufacturer, to launch New Zealand’s only B5 (5%) biodiesel blend. With the availability of Gull Diesel Max, three Gull service stations now solely sell B5. Dave Bodger, general manager of Gull New Zealand, says that Gull has been looking to retail biodiesel for quite some time, and the launch is another milestone towards Gulls commitment to becoming more sustainable across all of its fuel range. As an introductory special, Gull Diesel Max will be discounted by NZ$0.10 (US$0.07) per liter, and NZ$0.05 (US$0.04) per liter until October 1. Long- term, Gull expects Gull Diesel Max to retail between NZ$0.01-NZ$0.02 (US$0.01-US$0.01) per liter lower than pure petroleum diesel. (September 29, 2010)
