Calls for New Zealanders to remain level-headed at the pump as the Government moves to improve our fuel supply.  

It's changing fuel specifications so importers have the option to bring in fuel refined to Australian standards.   

The announcement comes as petrol surpasses four dollars a litre at some stations.  

Transporting New Zealand CEO Dom Kalasih told Ryan Bridge we don't need to be discussing rationing yet. 

He says there's been some short-term disruptions at some truck stops, but we have six weeks left of fuel in the country with ships on the way.
