I think a percent of each regions petrol tax should go to that regions roading. Lets say 75%.
The other 25% is pooled where is assigned as neccessary. If the West Coast needs more to for the roads then it goes there, if Auckland needs it, it goes there.

What I would be interested in is that Auckland is 25-33% of NZs Population, what is the % of petrol tax comes from Auckland. Is the ratio the same, or is it bigger. Does Auckland actually produce 50% of the petrol tax?
