We have NZ fuel price data, and so could you.

Petrol - it’s the lifeblood that keeps modern society running.  When you think about the amount of movement that things and people make every day, whether through public transportation, freight, air travel, motor vehicle driving, boating or more, the scope of fuel’s influence finally begins to be put into perspective.  And with New Zealand fuel costs having reached their highest ever level last year, more businesses, government agencies and research organisations are recognising petrol price as an important metric to track, whether as an indicator of costs, profits, consumer behaviour or regional competitivity.

Until now, retail fuel price information (comprehensive, detailed and up-to-date price data that you can buy access to and use for a specific business purpose) in New Zealand has been difficult to source on a large scale.

But if that’s what you’re looking for, we’ve got you covered.

What exactly do you mean by NZ fuel price data?

Datamine’s retail fuel price data is the most comprehensive database of its kind in New Zealand.  It provides both historical and live price information for all fuel brands and types from over 1500 stations nationwide.  This kind of centralised database also offers visibility into hourly price fluctuations at almost all NZ petrol stations, all the time, allowing for a higher level of analysis in the NZ retail consumer market.

Why is fuel price information useful?

You can buy access to data all the way back to 2015 (with improved coverage from Jan 2017), which is particularly valuable for research and analysis of past fuel trends over time.  It’s also possible to purchase an ongoing subscription to live fuel price data, which typically suits companies looking to monitor price movement, lower costs or keep an eye on the market.

Whether you want an overview of price trends as a whole, relativity of different brand prices or analysis of particular fuel products and stations, you can get access through Datamine’s fuel database.  Using our innovative pricing structure, you can design and only pay for the amount of data and level of detail you need.

Datamine stands behind the accuracy and robustness of our enhanced fuel price information – the data is up-to-date, comprehensive and quality assured by our team to meet our strict quality standards.

Who could benefit from NZ fuel price data?

There is a wide range of business and personal use cases for petrol price information.  Here are some examples of entities we work with:

• Location service organisations: Driver navigation systems and location service providers can benefit from having access to the location of nearby gas stations through our geo-located data, including available brands, products and respective prices
• Fuel companies: Our price data allows for real time analyses of price movement to help develop competitive pricing strategies on a store by store, regional and national basis
• Rideshare/Fleet companies: Rideshare organisations, taxi services or other fleets can use fuel price information to manage costs
• Watchdog organisations: Government bodies and consumer research organisations need to monitor change and relativity in fuel prices - for example, they need to check that regional fuel taxes are applied correctly within regions, or price isn’t changing price disproportionately in certain areas unfairly to consumers
• Retail, professional services, transport or infrastructure: Fuel price information is useful for businesses whose stores, products or services are influenced by the amount of motorist travel in New Zealand, and therefore are impacted by driving or purchasing behaviour as fuel price changes

This list is not exhaustive by any means, and many other types of organizations are also finding value in retail fuel data.
