more than likely robbing ****s it must be hitting the transport industry hard though even a 2p rise can have a big effect on their costs, i thought they wanted to stimulate the economy not hammer us all

picked up the nozzle for the 97ron excellium stuff... pump said 120.9!!

...and to be fair, there are very few cars that actually "need" 99 Ron.
For one not everywhere sells it, quite a lot of Super is actually 98 Ron.
So selling a car that requires 99 Ron could be dangerous.
Most cars that can actually benefit from the higher RON petrol include maps for standard Unleaded too.

Ya just need to decide what you class as "need" really.

Actually all Super is 97 RON except for V-Power and Tesco.

The only cars that actually need 99 are the grey imports from Japan. In reality they need 100 RON, but 99 is close enough to get by on most of them.
 
Petrol is so expensive. I have seen other threads on the pricing etc but surely if the cost of oil is reduced then the price of petrol "should" follow suite eventually?

In Canada petrol is 77c per litre, a better reflection of the oil price. We are getting properly ripped.
 
as the price of crude falls then the duty makes a progressivlely larger part of the pump price so at relatively low market levels then the pump price is insulated against changes in the fuel prices as duty makes up a progressively larger portion

1CAD= approx 55p

so a 77c it wouldnt even cover the duty burden let alone the wholesale price of the fuel

Why do we pay fuel duty again?

because labour and to a certain degree all the other parties. Screw with every aspect of our life and as such spend crazy amounts. Rather than just running the country and leaving us alone as much as possible.

Sorry I should have highlighted that I was comparing it to relative earnings no foreign exchange rates. So if I earn $1 CAD ill spend 77c on fuel.

Comparatively to the UK if I earn £1 I’ll spend 99.9 on fuel. Despite us all having the same base oil price (if that’s how it works).

Oh yes - because just "leaving the country to get on with it" would just work so perfectly.
