The fuel monitoring app Gaspy saw a ten-fold increase in users yesterday as people shop around for the best fuel price, given the rising costs of petrol and diesel. Associate Energy Minister Shane Jones this morning told Morning Report he is "quite cross" with Gull, over pumps at some of its sites running dry. Shane Jones says there is plenty of fuel in the country, and the trucks running fuel to Gull stations are running behind schedule. Gull was invited on to Nine to Noon to respond to the Minister. A spokesperson declined saying, "the Gull team as you can imagine is very busy with our logistics providers ensuring fuel gets to motorists across the Gull network". Kathryn speaks to Gaspy director Mike Newton about the sudden surge in usage of the price-watching app.
