The Mayor of Ruapehu wants the Commerce Commission to investigate why there are disparities between fuel prices within the region.
He's written to the watchdog to help ensure pricing is equitable, and claims it can be almost 50 cents more expensive than Te Awamutu, which an hour and a half away.
Mayor Weston Kirton says says Taumarunui locals are frustrated over paying significantly higher retail fuel prices compared to neighbouring townships.
He says they should investigate how retail prices compare to other rural areas.
