Fuel & VAT increase

Esso or Shell, can't remember which. Place has just had a refit to widen the pump spaces, but they seem to have forgotten the lighting, the top of the canopy is never lit up and neither is the price sign.

There are 3 texaco's near a route i take... One is at 108.9, the other 107.9 and the last at 105.9 all within 2 minutes of each other?

And then there's the ESSO next to the texaco undercutting them at 105.5 ;)

I bet you could ad 2-3p on them now VAT is up... I still love my local morrisons at asda 105.9 after vat :)
 
Once i can clean enough of it, i might put some on ebay.

But i'm cold mavity filtering, which right now is a tad slow. By tad, i mean it's like trying to pour treacle through a breeze block.
 
Labour never, ever give up taxation, they just pile it on with the flimsiest excuses while still managing to completely ruin the economy.

This is how it always has always been, and how it will continue to be unless we can finally get protection from irrational governments in terms of strictly ringfenced indirect taxation and a requirement for all general taxation to be funded directly.
 
hello friends,

The protests of 2000 achieved some success in that the fuel duty escalator was frozen. However, it has now resumed and with the rising price of oil motorists are paying ever increasing taxation due to VAT on fuel. Unlike fuel duty which is fixed, VAT is charged at 17.5%, so for every 1p increase in the price of fuel, we are actually paying an extra 1.175p.
 
Must admit I've gotten bored of watching petrol prices go up by 1 pence per litre! I paid 107.9 this morning, I can't tell you how much it was last week though!
 
Oh! This thread IS about petrol price increases. I was beginning to wonder.

Most filling stations around here (Gloucester) are 108.9 including the Total garage just around the corner which is usually the most expensive in the area. Waitrose Cheltenham are a penny cheaper.

We get 5% off petrol on our two cars by using save5percent.info It helps a little.

At the moment prices are the same although I wouldnt be supprised if they went up with the next fuel delivery. Local Tesco was staffless after 7pm last night so nobody there to change the prices.

Well as I thought the prices went up after we had a fuel delivery. I only really visit 3 petrol stations all of which are within afew miles of each other. I get the feeling the Tesco policy of having the cheapest/equal cheapest petrol within a 3 mile radius has been dropped.

Morrisons 104.9 --> 106.9
Shell 105.9 --> 107.9
Tesco 105.9 --> 108.9
