He found the introduction of the fuel tax was adding the most to those commuting from the Franklin area, who were driving an average of 18.4km to work, which cost them $35.40 before the new tax each week and $37.31 after it was introduced. That amounts to $1791 a year.50 X $1.91 = $95.50 - terrible reporting
If you own property, then you want everyone to bid for your house to force the price up, If you dont own, then you want a restriction to keep the price down. Simple really.

While it sounded weirdly different, with the revs not rising and falling, the tiny fractions saved by eliminating gear shifts added up to a car that was several seconds quicker around the test track, giving Williams a potentially massive advantage over its rivals.I always knew that CVT was superior- just like a 1,000 speed gear box really.(Sits back & awaits down votes)

Swedes personal income tax can be as little as 29 per cent of their pay, but most people (anyone earning over £32,000 =$NZ 60,000) will pay between 49 and 60 per cent through a combination of local government and state income tax.
Just paid $45.01 for 24.08 L = $1.869 / L at Gull East Tamaki ($5 voucher they issue every discount day) Without the Auckland City tax this = $1.754. Why cant the others match this?
National introduced the bright line test (why didnt they call it a CGT on selling an investment in a house.) Seems to me, the 5 year extension is the best & most simplest way to go.
National basically introduced a CGT with the Bright line tax (why call it bright line) Moving this out to 10 years with a decreasing rate is probably the best way to go.CGT can get very complicated - look at the Oz legislation.
So, can those that like to blindly lay blame on the Nats please explain why the construction industry seems to be struggling under the current government?It can only be their own fault - eg Fletcher being over 100% out in quoting for the Sky City job.Key can be blamed for allowing excessive immigration which caused the housing crisis
If 91 octane petrol is used in cars requiring higher octane fuel, they run the risk of pre-igniting or knocking. Knocking occurs when the petrol combusts early and pushes down against a piston while it is still moving upwards during the compression stroke and it can cause serious damage.The petrol / air mix has already detonated so how can altering the ignition timing affect it?
