The Auckland Regional Fuel Tax will end on June 30, as part of the Government's 100-day action plan.
Prime Minister Chris Luxon says Aucklanders have been paying an extra $11.5 cents per litre since mid-2018- and this will save drivers money.

ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says the Government will either have to contribute more to Auckland- or ratepayers will have to cover the difference.
