this tax on fuel is rubbish, adding the extra tax to akld people is fine with me if i actually saw some sort of improvements in public transport. They say to use the public transport in Auckland but it is still cheaper for me to drive into work and park in a public car park and get home. I take a little run around car for daily use so it is cheap on gas...i can see the price of public transport going up soon as well because the fuel price is too high to maintain the current costs and profits for companies. You have to wonder who does the research for the govt when it comes to adding taxes and things to stuff, I can see food prices will go up and it will just be a chain reaction. Govt don't care as they get free fuel anyway for the govt provided cars and taxis they use....
ggrrrrrr thats my rant over for the day!
