Title: FUEL DUTY TO RISE
Post by Snoopy on Mar 19^th, 2009, 7:53am

Hi folks I suppose that MOST of you have forgotten that the fuel duty increase was only delayed until April this year, and does in fact take effect from next month. Another 2p per litre going on the price !
Quote:

In just 2 weeks fuel duty will rise again, bringing the total tax paid at the pumps to 71 pence in every pound

on a slightly positive note, VED was meant to rise in April 09 but that's been delayed!

what gets up my nose is the fact that oil is supposed to be at its lowest price per barrel for nearly 30 years !!!
but then again we`ve got to pay for bailing out the banks somehow , and as usual they target the easiest lot of all , the car driver!!!
diesel is back over a pound a litre , yet punters are fewer :-[

its understandable people are angry, but direct your rage at the right people... and that ISNT the Petrol company !

After all, its their comoddity - they have to mine it, refine it, ship it and finally sell it (and im sure you wouldnt be too happy if your customers got arsey and demanded that they should tell you how much they'll pay for your products or services )

Use your cross wisely when election time comes round - crucify a theiving government SWINE !

Just remember there isn't a complete, utter luxuary item on the planet that attracts a tax rate of 71% - and we're talking about a vital essential here :(
