Warm, wet weather to dampen smorgasbord of Wellington events

Wellingtonians will be spoiled for choice with a haul of events around the region expected under warm but wet skies this weekend. Start at the Island Bay Festival then head for the Petone Rotary Fair in Lower Hutt, BrewDay in Trentham, Wings over Wairarapa near Masterton, and then hit the Art Deco Festival in Napier.

Petrol prices! Collins to get to the bottom of it

Both stations are owned by BP as I understand it, and fuel comes ashore in both Port of Tauranga and Seaview in Wellington, yet a 40c difference. From what I’ve been reading, the petrol companies are milking Wellington to make up for the price wars happening elsewhere.
