Gordon Brown / Alister Darling

Yep, 110 diesel and 109 petrol here already.

Fricking rediculous

After the prices dropping to 85-90ppl earlier in the year and prices of oil continuing to fall prices have crept back up again, with duty being increased several times, but this actually only reflects about 10p increase IIRC, so the other 10p has come from the oil companies.

Another example of the motorist being exploited. Seeing as there are so many of us in the country, why do the government/oil companies get away with it?

we should all stop talking to Alex now he works for BP


MikeR - 17/11/09 at 10:58 PM

well seeing as Alex didn't even buy me a pint now he's working i'm not talking to him anyway!!!!

When the VAT rate was cut it did not apply to fuel booze etc. It's yet to be seen if when the rate goes back up they "forget" this and increase VAT across the board or if they will not increase fuel etc.

Glad I bought a dieseasal


speedyxjs - 18/11/09 at 08:16 AM

Wow, it seems worse for most of you guys!

Its around 1.07 for unleaded here. I still cant beleive that in 2004 when i passed my test, fuel hadn't topped 70p per litre

Dont know about booze but with fuel the 2.5% VAT cut was added to the fuel duty.

Do you honestly think fuel duty will be ut as VAT goes up??

Because even if we do try and do something about it, they're that incompetent there's little point.

When it was getting to £1.30 a couple of years back I started calling the government asking who's responsible for the tax on fuel. 3 weeks of calling later I came to the conclusion that not one person in the houses of parliment have a flaming clue.

I'd vote for BNP if they said they'd reduce fuel tax it's that bad now
