Poll: The Fuel Squeeze ... How are you navigating rising costs? ✈️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Between the news about the Nelson Port and Airport facing "huge ramifications" from global unrest and the creeping prices at the local petrol station, it feels like getting from A to B (or flying out of the region) is becoming a major math problem.

With fuel prices and airfares set to stay high for the foreseeable future, we want to know how the Nelson community is pivoting. Are you changing your habits, or just grit-and-bearing it?

We want to know: How are you adjusting your travel and commute to beat the price hikes?
