Higher Petrol prices still with the drop of crude oil cost. NFR

[epsomraver]

Slightest rise  in crude oil prices, up goes the pump price, slightest change in exchange rate, up they go. crude is now cheaper than a year ago yet even allowing for VAT rise it is still higher than it should be, we are being ripped off !

imagine how the haulage companies feel.

I'm working in Dubai, and to fill my car up it cost eleven pounds. Just goes to show you how much we are getting riped of inthe UK. :012:

Diesel so much higher than petrol yet costs so much less to produce and all our goods are delivered by diesel lorries.

[Blingo]

Yet all over Europe, Diesel is cheaper than petrol. It really shows how much you get ripped off over in UK.

I think that in France the government subsidise diesel prices because they know it affects haulage  deliveries

[Blingo]

Diesel in Gib is 99.9p ltr, and that includes government tax PLUS an extra 4p per litre so that we do not pay any road tax (greatly subsidised by the Spanish who come over to fill up as they pay the same price lol).

[epsomraver]

France has no road tax, we have 141 a litre and £260 a year road tax on a 2 litre car!

I know ER, it is a complete bloody rip off.
