Price of Gasoline is UP AGAIN!!!

This is getting ridiculous!!!  I had to put petrol in my car today and had a chat with the station attendant and she said she thought her customers were going to lynch her yesterday when the price went up to $2.01 per litre!  Apparently some of her customers knew the price was going up before she knew it was going up!

To top it that, the New Zealand Labour government came up with the annual budget presentation informing the public that there will be a personal tax cut for us this coming October.  However, the media is calling it 'a family block of cheese' for us!  Why?!  Because it ranges from NZ$16 - NZ$22 per week.  So guess which one am I getting? Yeah the lower one of course!  Sigh.......   Critics say it is just a last ditch effort to gain some votes with the upcoming election where the National party has been predicted to win in these times of high inflation and high interest rates! To me, the $16 will just cover the price of petrol increase in the past year!
