1p is zb’all to me…
I know fuel needs to drop a lot more, but it has dropped over 15p a litre in the last couple on months. Give it time, it will come down more. And then George Osborne will stick more duty on it.
if this helps ,I was in egypt last month where the government overnight raised the fuel price by 78% which makes the price of diesel now approximately 15 pence per ltr…telegraph.co.uk/news/worldne … rices.html apparently the goverments skint and about bankrupt,so guess who gets their pockets emptied…poor wee souls…
We’re on about $1.04 ltr for petrol. It’s dropped $0.13 ltr in the last month.
I don’t see any shortage of cars on the road,fuel is too cheap,the government is broke so pile on the tax !

Funny enough, the only tax I was ever in favour of increasing for everyone is the fuel duty… I agree there ARE far too many motorists on the road, driving around their private castles and getting in the way of commercials with their unneccessary journeys “just to take the 4x4 for a spin” or whatever. You look how few cars out-of-hours still only have a driver in them. You can’t tell me they’re ALL going to or from work!?
I’d much rather see some taxes only for millionaires, but alas, they have the power to leave the country, and not pay at the drop of a hat.
Under the last two governments, you don’t even have to leave the country to get out of paying your taxes either.
Scrapping expenses would work better to get everyone to spend more efficiently (if we can’t offset-claim the 139.9p at MSAs for example) which would drive down the cost of living everywhere, -not just with fuel prices.
Kick 'em all into touch next may - or you’ll get the government you deserve as always.
I would never wish anything upon someone I wouldn’t wish upon myself.
If any millionaire doesn’t fancy paying higher taxes then give it to me, and I’ll happily pay super taxes upon it for you!
You can swap your house with my band C house too if you like, and pay less council tax to boot…
Scrap road tax.
Duty on the fuel.
Rebate for O ilcence holders.
Fuel price ‘cut’■■
But you notice 2/3/4 weeks before all this, it went up??
So where’s the actual ‘cut’?
Guess they think we have short term memories?
We as a country missed the boat for cheap fuel as far back as 1932
bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-magazin … r-29954567
Hindsight can be cruel. In 1932, amid a global economic slump, the impoverished Saudis came to London looking for a loan. They also had an offer: would Britain like to try drilling for oil? A disdainful Foreign Office mandarin gave the fateful reply, writes Matthew Teller - no loan, and no drilling.
Then again as posted above its gone up before coming down so its all spin like the EU debt we owe, we would have only had to have paid half anyway due to rebates,
Never fill up at supermarkets, was on the taxis for 10 years and found I got. 4-5 mpg less using supermarket fuel and car never felt right with a full tank of it, lots of the old time drivers agreed to something to do with additives or fillers used, anyway she’ll all the way for me, just hope they drop 10p off a litre
Years ago a guy I knew was something to do managing the tankers in a refinery, he told me the additives where added to the fuel as the fuel was added to the tankers to customers specifications.
Not sure how true it was but sounded feasible to me.

Are they not calling this a “price war cut” as well?
I agree with your observation: Unleaded fuel is down 28% to date, from the time when fuel was pretty much 136.9 at the pumps everywhere.
136.9 less 28% - I make it just under a quid a litre - we should be getting at the pumps by this point, since the fuel tax escalator hasn’t yet been re-implemented as far as I know…
122.9 amounts to a measly 11% drop - less than half the savings being passed onto the consumer, all whilst fuel spikes tend to be pound-for-pound oassed onto the consumer in line with the underlying market, and fuel duty hikes in the budget get passed on from 6pm the same day!
