I was getting some oil for the car the other day annd coughed when the guy in the motor factors gave me the price, he then pointed out that oil prices were going up due to the problems in the middle east, I pointed out in return that it was fully synthetic oil and there wasn't actually any oil in it and he shut up :)

its mostly the governments fault, well over half the price of petrol goes in the governments pockets, the could balance it out but taking a smaller hit themselves but cant see that happening even when everything goes back to normal.

145.9 at Shell Godstone this afternoon.

No point having a retarded rant at the government though - tis the biggest Cartel in the world that is responsible - OPEC.

Didn't say it was fair mate, but you have to look at the tax situation as a whole, not just as individual items.....otherwise you can't even begin to compare us with other countries! The thing is that most of that 'tax' money from petrol goes right back to you and me to pay for other services that we all use, and the people taking from us it aren't making a profit out of us are they.

Even the petrol station barely make much money on it. They probably make more profit from the sandwich and coke you buy in the shop than then they do from a full tank of Super !!!

The price is mainly increasing due to the oil producers deciding to limit production so that prices go up. Then they stop the cap on production and flood the market, cashing in, then the price goes back down again (oversimplification obviously).

Blame the government if you want - tis the easiest thing to do - but it's got **** all to do with them.

If thats the case,surely they would be better off NOT selling the fuel and becoming news agents instead!!

the goverment,on 1 litre of fuel we pay 60% tax ,so they are not doing too bad out of it

There is a Bardahl product available which I import and use in all my vehicles. If it was used in every vehicle petrol and diesel consumption in the UK would fall by over 2 billion litres.

Apart from reducing fuel consumption by 5 to 15%, the side effects are more power and torque :drive:

You won't be surprised that taxi drivers are using it. :-)

Yeah but selling fuel doesn't half drag the punters in !!!!

Agreed, but:
a) we get it all back
b) they take lower tax elsewhere comparitively
c) they don't exactly make a profit out of it do they.

As a driver, yeah sure I'd like to see less tax being taken on the fuel I put on my motor, but I know I'd end up paying for it elsewhere most likely.
