Petrols halved in price to $0.50 per litre in the US (Gallon converted from $1.90) over the past few years.
1 - we have so many taxes on our fuel itβs not funny which causes our cost of living crisis
2 - why doesnβt our petrol ever half in price and jump around like that?
Because the ones who set the taxes don't want us not to pay them.

Firstly because of your first point, with excise duty, road tax, GST, Carbon tax etc more than half the cost of petrol at the pump is tax. Only the GST element varies with the price of the goods, the others are all fixed to volume.
Secondly oil is sold in USD. For the last 8 years our governments have shown very little fiscal prudence. As a result the NZD has declined from 74c to 57c against the USD.
Where are you getting your petrol prices from Wiz?
The average petrol price for regular grade in the US is $2.81 per gallon or $NZD1.24/litre
US petrol price varies massively from state to state. IMO is misleading to look at the average price as this is very distorted by California.

No, because it's science and it's real. You're on your own journey, sorry for that, you've been conned

Like the science that said the vaccine was "safe and effective", or maybe the Naziβs eugenic sceince that said they were the master race or maybe we should follow Al Gore who says βthe seas are boilingβ. Well they must have been boiling yesterday because when I went for a surf this morning the sea temp was more like 20 than 100 ΛC.
Science is all about skepticism, the day we agree the science is settled is the day science stops advancing our knowledge or the universe.
yep keep calling anyone who disputes your view a nasty name, that is the foundation all science is built on...ahh wait, what.

Antivax is hardly nasty, when that is exactly what you said above. I am interested as to how you think that science wasn't correct though
