Also, the £ is pretty weak, which doesn't help either.

Lexusboy A litre of fuel is around (leaving the fuel depot) 40p - 45p a litre so you are paying around 75p tax per litre
So if have a 60 litre tank you will pay the goverment tax of £45.00 per tank.
That is with out the up coming 3p increase.
thats wright mate ...:w00t:that for some poor person to clean their duck pond:w00t::w00t:

02-02-2017, 01:43 AM #15no one truelly knows the ammount of debt this country is really in as debts grow on a dailly basis and working in billion figures the daily interest has to be near on millions!! we are heading towards being a 3rd world country on money status. even with a new government we are stil screwed

Think all the government employees should be on minimum wage for 12-24 months and made to use public transport and pay for everything themselves and see how they like it? the country would save quite a few £'s :Chair:

They know there's no alternative, which is why the motorist gets screwed. We can try and do something but what can we do? As an example my commute to work by car takes just over an hour, on public transport it takes hours.......I could swap but I can't be bothered enough to put up with that much extra pain to make a point - and I think the rest of the country feels the same way.
The only thing I probably could do would be to swap to diesel or LPG - that way we'd be reducing our fuel costs (and therefore tax payouts) but still not compromising our lives too much..........

This is getting silly now, as many have said my last fill up was £82 with V Power being £1.21 a litre at the mo - I have to say I'm a bit confused though as there should be many people out there who simply can't afford fuel at this price but it hasn't happened?

But yes, petrol is starting to become a luxary item for some of us- its not called black gold for nothing.

Even if petrol gets to £2 a litre (it better not), it is still cheaper for me to make the 40 round journey to work in my IS200 instead of using 2 buses and 2 trains.
