Hi neighbours,

What's the highest price per litre of fuel you've paid for recently? Petrol prices are skyrocketing around the country, with some Kiwi motorists shelling out more than $3 a litre for fuel!

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern claims that New Zealanders are being "fleeced" at the pump, but petrol companies are pushing back on those claims.

The Government plans to rush through changes to an act, which will allow a watchdog to investigate the margins on fuel. Click here to read more about how your rising fuel taxes will be spent.

So what are your thoughts on the current price of fuel? Can you and your family afford it? Do you think the current prices need to be investigated? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below!

I have a 1.5 year old grey short coat cat that needs a new home. (She is desexed) We got her as a kitten but she needs a quiter home than ours. She is abit shy but friendly once she know you, she loves a good cuddle on the couch everynight.
I would love her to find a new home without a dog. She would be well suited to a quiter home maybe a older couple or person that wants company.
Message me for any questions. :)
