Unfortunately the kicking that the government received last week
still doesn't seem to have sunk into their thick heads. They're
still considering "reviewing" the 2p fuel hike they've got planned
for Septemberish.

You're complaining about 2p a litre? It's gone up about 15p since
last year without any tax hikes involved - it's the price of crude
which is making the significant difference. 2p is sod-all compared to
that.

Remember how tax used to be 80% of the price you paid? It's now
rather closer to 60%.

You should be happy though - the premium for diesel is growing :-)

The cost to put petrol or desiel on the forcourt is something around 40
pence per litre 80 pence is tax
