Can you help a Wellington Brother out?

[Fizzy Toucan]

Hello fellow Club-Subbers of the South.

I'm heading down your ways on Wednesday and I'm needing to know where the BP 98 is at. I'm cruising down to Queenstown, stopping in Hanmer Springs for a night then, onto Queenstown, (calling into Christchurch for a pit stop along the way).

I have used the BP Store locator online, but it isn't very helpful when it comes to our beloved 98 fuel.

I have been told Cromwell has it, but I'll need some more well before I get that far.

A massive thank you in advance to those who point me in the right direction.

The BP on Sparks Road in Hoon Hay definitely has 98. I'm fairly sure the Fendalton BP on the corner of Memorial Ave and Clyde Road has it too. That's the only two I know of so far.

Okay, so Blenheim is your first stop, BP has 98 at 2.019/l at the moment. so that's where you may want to fill up at the start of your sojourn

BP Rolleston (Last BP on your way to Queenstown if you head south)

BP Hoon Hay

BP Fendalton

BP Marshland Rd

BP Dallington

These BPs' have 98.

The BP in Ashburton has 98, so does the BP in Cromwell.

Blenheim

Kaikoura

9 sites in Christchurch

Ashburton

Timaru

Oamaru

Dunedin

Cromwell

State Highway 1 is golden... everywhere is not.

When DacerX and I were down in May last year, they had two pumps behind the petrol station with 98.

The guys working there said there were plans to expand the front courtyard and the 98 pumps would be installed there too.

I got 98 in Cromwell in January.

Thanks for your input guys.

I got on the ferry with half a tank, filled up in Blenheim then stayed in Hanmer Springs for the night. Then the long drive was today, next fill up was Ashburton - was down to just below a quarter, then I filled up again in Cromwell - was only just below half a tank left. Was a long but awesome drive, loved the scenery too, (first drive down here)

Now in Queenstown for a week with a full tank

Sounds like you are not driving hard enough

Not with my Mum and Dad in the car, cruised around 110 most of the way, only boosting past trucks and campers when I needed too.
