Fuel prices........update..

[Fekin]

Well, since Labour came to power 10 years ago, all we have had is new tax after new tax, more old taxes increased than reduced with no sign of them letting up.

I remember reading in a broadsheet paper a while back now that Labour has introduced over 120 new taxes since they came to power, with very few scrapped and a lot of the old taxes increased further.

As for fuel prices... well... only by dropping around 20p a litre from duty will make a difference, but that saving would only be lost within a couple of months with crude prices rising like they are.

I forsee £2 a litre by the end of the year :icon8:

Seen as 75% or more of fuels price is tax..then i think they can resolve this problem easy.......instead of bieng greedy *********...

I had a email from someone the other day saying everybody should stop using the major fuel companys, bp, shell ect' an go to tesco's or asda. Then they would soon start cutting there prices

I always check prices before doing a job, Done a metal system the other week, Prices gone up by 50%. The fuel prices will be pushing transport costs up and following thru to everything else we buy. My local supermarket has an offer on at the moment 45 cans of lager for £20, Am I missing somethink :8:

There seems to be a spate of it going missing from farms now as well.......if you get caught with cherry-aid in your tank they will not only fine you , they will take your vehicle and crush it......

 

[poynton phil]

Yes they will, i used to drive diggers and bulldozers and a lot of people i worked with used it as it was easy to get, and a mate of mine was caught, got a £500 fine and the second time £1000 fine, and bye bye van.

Yeah they could reduce duty but as I said before, the price would only shoot up with the money going to the oil company and not the goverment.
