The Commerce Commission has published its final report into the retail fuel market and has highlighted several ways New Zealanders are being forced to pay more than they should.
The commission found that discounting and loyalty offerings are "prolific" in New Zealand and that it "distracts" people from the fact they're paying too much at the pump.
New Zealand also lacks a competitive wholesale market - an issue that's been raised before - and as a result the public is paying "higher prices than they would in a workably competitive market".
