fooking 45 quid went in the tank and its all going to be used up soon with that juice guzzling monster under the bonnet

i think im going to have to buy a pug 106 diesel or somthing

Fooking rip off. The fuel protests kicked off when the price hit 85p and now we are almost at £1 a fuckin litre. If we weren't being raped so much in the tax it wouldn't be so bad

most of it is tax so 5 pound for the petrol 40 pound for the tax man proper wounder

Oranoco

Doesn't it just fuck you off?

mrviper

oh shite how much is tax on fuel?

robbing coonts

Focus Dan

Tax on fuel is about 340%

Meaning every £50 you spend £37 of it is pure tax, making the fuel cost only £13.

I'd love to know where all the money goes, do the government stash it or what? surely can't use it for roads as thats what VED is for, so if every driver filled up with say £50 in juice (£37 tax), and if we take an average 20,000,000 cars on the road thats £740,000,000 that the goverment make for every £50 of fuel that goes into 20,000,000 cars

mrviper

yeah just think thats not including all the artics and lorry's and vans LOL

Graceland

this is why i'm buying a diesel snotter to runabout in - pick it up tomorrow all been well

And i doubt very much we'll see anymore fuel protests again as last time 90% of the public bitched and moaned about the truckers when the supermarket shelves ran dry, Without looking at the bigger picture
