vw_golf_vr6 0 Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Diesel 'cheapest pre-tax'UK diesel prices are the cheapest in western Europe before tax is added but higher than in any other EU country after tax, Government figures reveal.The figures show taxes made up 58% of the total price in April, raising the cost from 48.8p a litre to 116.6p.Unleaded prices were the third lowest of all EU states, at 41.2p a litre, but after tax the 107.6p cost meant 18 other EU countries had cheaper petrol.source: http://www.teletext.co.uk/news/national/0a...e-tax'.aspx crazy isn't it!!! what does the goverment do with all this tax?

Phat VR6 3 Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Was watching Question Time last night and by the sounds of things the intended 2p tax increase in September time isn't going to be taking place..... until a later date no doubt!I don't understand! ive watched petrol prices rise 3p over the past few weeks? Is that not tax but the petrol stations upping there prices?What realy pisses me off is theres nothink we can do. I wonder if the amount of people that drive off without paying has increased.. Thing is hardy any of them get caught for it and petrol stations account for 3 or so drive offs a day Link to post Share on other sites
