i think they goverment should reduce tax's anyway but especially during this time because its just too expensive at more than a £1 a litre. Ive heard something about a temporary possible three day week aswel, anyone else heard
this?

I'm not 100% Sure but,
If i hear correctly the UK has the most expensive petrol per ltr in Europe ?

Well its hitting the News so i dont think its going to be too long before some action is taken.

Lets hope London comes to a stop first eh !

just heard on radio that the big 3 oil companies, shell, esso, bp, r going to pump more oil out per day so the price will actually be frozen for the foreseeable future.

So its kicking off again.

They say not me that they should curve back down a little at the end of september.
Then back up again for christmas.

But Diesel is going to stedely rise.

Hopefully the goverment will reduce the tax
so it wont go over the £1

But funny enough some one told me (Forgot who)
that most petrol pumps can not register + 99.99p
That's going to be fun.

Is petrol too hight again ?

YES i say.

i saw on the news this morning that the only reason one garage didn't go above the £1 p/l was because it didn't have enough space on the board, and they are ordering new signs to support this.

so, £1 per litre.

60% goes to the government for tax
17.5% goes to the government for Value added tax

So that is nearly 78p for every pound that the government is accountable for, the oil companies only make a few pence profit per litre.

Some of the bigger companies which have their own shops - Select for Shell etc, actually make more profits from the goods sold in the shops, than the fuel sold from the pumps.

Oil has been on a steady rise, the middle east problems havnt helped that rise, oil is also a comodity that will eventually run out which contributes to the price of oil, but the tax on the fuel eek

Its an easy tax, you dont like paying it, use busses, trains etc, but its paying for the convenience of having the car, and the freedom of a car.
