National has launched a petition to repeal the Government's new fuel taxes to "relieve some of the financial pressure" on Kiwis, the party's leader Simon Bridges has said.
"Ordinary hard-working Kiwi families don't need the worry of figuring out how they're going to drive to school or get to the supermarket."
He said this Government was "pricing them out of their cars."
On September 30, a new fuel excise tax of 3.5c a litre came into force.
Transport Minister Phil Twyford said the tax would help pay for initiatives such as light rail and better public transport.
