Kāpiti locals fuming over BP fuel pricing email

From Morning Report, 6:41 am on 1 May 2018

Locals on the Kāpiti Coast are fuming after revelations about BP's petrol pricing tactics. A leaked internal email shows the company was losing sales in Ōtaki, where prices were 20c/l higher than nearby towns. But rather than make Ōtaki fuel cheaper it planned to hike prices in the other towns, hoping other companies would follow its lead.
