VAT: 14.89p
Duty: 50.35p
Produciton & delivery: about 31p
Retailer: about 4p
Source: AA/Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMIF)
Average is now over £1 Litre. I remember my great aunt moaning when it was £1 a gallon!

The fuel duty escalator is a Tory invention. Of course Labour won't actually abolish it though. If they did there would be 1001 stealth taxes to make the deficit up.
What I want to know is, what happened to those angry truckers that barracaded the depots when the price hit 80 someting p/litre. Did they do a deal with the devil, because I am amazed they haven't been seen since.

Just imagine what the price would be if the Dollar to the Pound was at around $1.50 instead of over $2, the price would probably be nearer to £1.20 a litre :shock: :shock:

Tax it more I say.
Buisness claim it back,so the "no food in supermarkets" arguement doesnt really add up.

cheap petrol = People drive more, more cars on the roads, more roads, less badgers.
Expensive petrol = I don't care.
We've all got to make sacrifices I'm afraid, war doesn't pay for itself. I can't even smoke in a pub for fucks sake!

The money the government is losing on people not buying smokes has to come from somewhere else.
More tax on petrol and beer.

What theory? I can assure my not caring is a fact not a theory.
I think the aim is to stop people driving when they don't have to. Unfortunately that means you suffer. Lets face it though car drivers are always moaning about anything which threatens their right to be lazy selfish tossers

I drove to teh link from westlea tonight, I picked up a mate from Westlea to. It may ruin the environment but then walking around west swindon may result in me getting stabbed or losing my wallet. Id still drive at £2 a litre

If you have no option but to drive for work then i'm afraid you suffer. Catching the train is an expensive business too. I never complain about the price of fuel because it's my choice what car i drive and if it costs a fortune in fuel then so be it. I could always buy a Smart car.  I'm lucky in the fact i don't need my car for anything but leisure. |
