ASDA credit card still give money off petrol?

It is, was thinking about getting one just for buying petrol, as it is 1 min from my house and it's where I buy all my petrol.

Yep, 2p. I think GE Capital are the finance unit behind it.

Filled up the van today at 126.9 at the BP station in Bletchley, nastyyyy

 

[No-One]

Our local BP station had to close for a few days recently for refurbishment. By way of an apology they gave all customers a voucher for 5p per litre off their next refill. But their price is so expensive I can drive a few miles to another station and save 10p per litre.

Would be interested to see how much of the cost over £1 (what it was a few months ago) is extra tax, rather than a result off raw material price increase.

It's not hard to work out is it. Just the 17.5% VAT.

On £1 a litre your paying 14.9p VAT, on £1.20 a litre it's 17.9p. So of the last 20p rise, 3p has been tax.

 

[HEADRAT]

Around 70% of the cost is tax, so of the 16p over £1 the tax is 11.2 pence.

Fail.

 

[DJMK4]

£1.30 for a litre of diesel round here

 

[HEADRAT]

Fail.

The tax on petrol isn't 17.5%

 

[Muffin`]

You need to differentiate between VAT and Duty, amature

 

[clv101]

The variable amount of tax is... this is really basic stuff that everyone talking about fuel prices should know!

 

[Kitchster_uk]

Diesel has gone up to 122.9 and u/l to 112.9 here at my local Shell station. It's making my 60 mile a day round trip unaffordable. I ot a 4% payrise this yaer, all of which has gone to the governmentin some way, extra £600 on fuel alone. Sick.

Oooooh handbags

I made an mistake on an Internet Forum, I'm just off to kill myself with my own shoelaces!

You can brag to all your MSN friends now, you winner

Isn't the fuel tax a fixed amount per litre, but obviously the amount of VAT varies depending on the final figure?
