Fuel costs
Shocked by the increase in fuel prices?. You should have lived in Franz Josef where the cost of a litre went up to $2.30, three years ago. My wife worked part time in the fuel station.

Prices regularly fluctuated but it was generally accepted that the owner, who lived in Auckland, needed to replace his helicopter.

-
25.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.8% ... It is complicated
