And how is this communism? Reduced it for a time to help, and now it's back to normal.
I suppose you could go buy an electric car....
Noooo think of all the petrol you could buy for the price of buying an electric car, not worth it, I wonder if any of them (electric cars) have exploded or had their battery ruined by the flood waters in Auckland, yes I know petrol ones will be buggered too but just wondering.
An vehicle that has been at least partly submerged in flood waters should have its vital fluids (oil, ATF, brake fluid, etc.) checked for water contamination but going by the amount of people happily playing the sewage contaminated flood waters I doubt many recognise the risks caused by the event.
So far as the tax break on fuel prices ending how many of those that have been enjoying this ICE vehicle incentive are the same people bitching about the RUC holiday for EVs? Good for the goose.....
