Really interesting 2 in the top 5 are calling for Tolls, makes sense surely, you use it, you pay for it. The number 1. pretty much reitterates this. This is a win for the crowd for sure!

| Why not use toll roads? User pays is it not? | 89 | 95 | 6 | Oarsum4x |
| This amply proves that the petrol companies are stronger and smarter than our government. Simple actually, the petrol company executives and managers are hired for their business acumen and experience and the polititians are not. | 87 | 95 | 8 | atrout |
| Petrol companies continue to give govt middle finger. | 85 | 91 | 6 | TheJack |
| Tolls and congestion charges are the answer, not a regional fuel tax. | 80 | 91 | 11 | cdguy |

| the price has now reached its highest recorded,the govt is getting over $1 per litre in tax before the extra levy comes into force and it wont be long before it spreads right thru the country, can it get any worse? | 72 | 78 | 6 | the mediator |
| What?? Labour not seeing the big picture or thinking an idea all of the way through??
Im truly shocked .... or I would be if it wasnt for that fact that pretty much everything theyve done to date has resulted in lots of negative consequences that they never thought about! | 54 | 70 | 16 | BTfromWB |
Wow - who didnt see this coming? Auckland thanks the rest of the country for subsidising the petrol tax again. | 48 | 50 | 2 | Mully |

Twyford is the biggest failure in the Govt, too much clout for such a narcissist and no idea what he is doing. This along with the upcoming spectacular FAILURE in Housing will be the downfall of the Govt, only question is if they make it full term as Winston the fisheries crook is about to start running the show, the person with 7% of the Vote is going to be PM, think about that for a bit.

| They should make fuel companies display the amount of fuel tax paid on their receipts. It wouldn't stop fuel companies spreading the cost but would provide transparency to call them out on it. | 39 | 44 | 5 | Artemis13 |
| Just shows you how dumb the government is to introduce a local fuel tax but put nothing into legislation to prevent the fuel companies from collecting the tax through price hikes throughout the country to pay the local tax! | 38 | 44 | 6 | bikerchris |
| Anything Phil do nothing Twyford is involved is bound to be a bullsup. How about removing gst | 38 | 53 | 15 | Chris of Nelson |
| I voted Labour but honestly Im starting to regret it. The claim from National that a vote for Labour would just mean a vote for multiple new taxes has turned out to be 1. We already pay something like 68 cents per litre on fuel, more than any other nation in the world, and they want to increase this? For all the bluster, even Labour dont seem to understand how much people are struggling with costs such as these. | 37 | 43 | 6 | catalyst27 |
| Labour = More tax | 36 | 46 | 10 | wokybok |
| The government doesn't care how expensive fuel costs. | 36 | 38 | 2 | Jeff Lebowski |
| No wonder Labour is laughing. Their tax take on petrol is now insanely high. Its the frosting on top of the icing, on top of the backs of working Kiwis across the country. | 35 | 39 | 4 | Chris Davies |
