ffs diesel was already killing us, now this. guess I'll just start biking.

Ruby Fraser2026-07-13T00:03:32.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed, you try hauling 20 ton on a pushbike after your avocado toast

Ruby Fraser2026-07-13T00:12:32.000Z

tell that to my truck, mate. we can't just 'bike' a load of concrete. this govt is useless.

Isla Cooper2026-07-13T00:21:32.000Z

so petrol goes down a tiny bit and diesel goes up? classic. gotta love the 'free market' lol

Luca Reid2026-07-13T00:29:32.000Z

feel for the tradies especially. already stretched thin, this'll tip em over the edge.

it's not just supply crunch, it's the carbon tax bleeding everyone dry. open your eyes

petrol was 2.30 a litre last week now 2.10 but diesel still 1.90? how does that even work

Morgan Lee2026-07-13T01:04:32.000Z

genuinely curious what alternatives there are for rural deliveries. everything runs on diesel.

NZ Herald2026-07-13T01:40:32.000Z

google it mate. ems scheme, carbon price, it's all there. wake up.

Riley Scott2026-07-13T01:10:32.000Z

should've invested in rail decades ago but nah let's keep building motorways

Sky Murphy2026-07-13T01:37:32.000Z

lol built rail and still can't afford fuel cos the track is falling apart

Sky Murphy2026-07-13T01:18:32.000Z
