VIOLATION KING
Fuel Prices .. £1.50 + per Litre by September 2008....?
On GMTV Today, they said that it is being predicted that "Petrol + Diesel" will be £1.50 per Litre by September.

They also stated the TAX on Fuel is 65% !
TAX has always been quoted at being 80-85%. So are they 'Dumbing' it down to make out that the TAX is lower than it really is ? As we all know the British Public will believe anything the Govornment says !

Also did YOU know that there is less 'OIL' in Petrol + Diesel NOW , than there was 10 years ago ?

It has been stated that UPTO 35% of a Litre of Petrol + Diesel is actually man made !

DO NOT be fooled ... Every time Fuel goes up the Govornment make MILLIONS if not BILLIONS in Revenue (TAX)

The Govornment is there to represent the British Public.... NOT Dictate to us.

If REVENUE to the Govornment was capped at 'say' 50p per Litre inc VAT.. I think we would then see the real price of Fuel. And I think that if this was implemented then a Litre of Fuel would cost no more than 75-80p per Litre.

Your views Please.

Thanks for your input... But you are way out..... Sorry mate it WAS 50p TAX when we were paying around 70p a Litre at the pumps.... Now that fuel is hitting £1.20 per Liter we are paying about 96p per Litre in TAX.

I honestly don't know how people expect to afford it, I am quite lucky as I live close to the Republic of Ireland but since the exchange rate is also crap, there is no way to win.

Lets all move to Australia where its sunny and fuel is cheap!!

have a star. good point very well made. Its just a joke now. why aren't people protesting like before and bringing this government to its knees. they are holding us to Ransom by charging so much tax on fuel its about time we stopped them and held them to Ransom. they rip us off then just waste our money. I'm sick of it.


BertieBastard
Thing is, they need to pay for the war in Iraq. -They dont tell us that though do they!?

Thats why fuel is a lot cheaper in European Countries or countries that have no involvement in the war.

on a slightly different note, remember about 10 years ago when people were complaining that petrol was expensive? I'd love to go back to how it was then!.

Yea its bad my car now costs up to 90 pounds to fill up my jeep grand cherokee and my dads porsche cayenne costs a lot thats why people use that red fuel

Contrary to myth and rumour, tax as a percentage of the price of petrol in the top 5 countries as of January 2008 was:

Sweden 64
Belgium 63
German 63
UK 63
Finland 62

I believe the current fuel duty is at 50.35p/litre.

That help?


Josh
Tax on petrol is fixed per litre. They don't charge a fixed percentage but a fixed pence per litre levy.

If petrol is £1 litre, and tax is 85p, it's 85%. But due to market forces, if petrol rises to £2 a litre, and tax is 85p still, then clearly the percentage that is tax falls to 42.5%

People use their cras too much in this country

We have a problem with congestion and pollution.

The government and scientists can tell people until they are blue in thir face to not use the car so much - walk short distances, use public transport, but the ONLY way to make a change is by money.

Having the duty on the petrol is actually quite efficent and fair. The bigger the car engine, the more petorl it uses, and the further you travel, the more it uses.

If we didn't have a problem with congestion and pollution I would agree with yuo, but the only way to get people to change is by charging them
