In the 14 months that I've owed my flying machine, it has increased by £0.27 per litre, and while I have approached the whole M5 owning experience with a view that it won't be inexpensive motoring, I still think that's a little hard to swallow!

It's something but what is this 'duty' anyway, something concocted by them out of nothing on top of the VAT. When the fuel price is increased they scoop up more in VAT and duty skinning the public.

Before the 5p duty drop came in fuel co's upped the price a bit, they're nothing but daylight thieves, sure I can afford it but I don't like being ripped off by petty price manipulating.

My suspicions have been confirmed, brits are being ripped off by fuel suppliers. The cost of filling your M5 up should have dropped 20p a litre by now because of a drop in global oil prices and a small cut in the governments fuel 'duty',this so called gov't duty is on top of the VAT already charged. Sunak could implement a long awaited independent fuel pricing watchdog to help the UK's 37M motorists, so what is he waiting for.

At the time I bought mine, premium unleaded was £1.269 litre (well it was in my area).
Last week, I filled up and it was £1.769 litre - an increase of £0.21 litre since mid-December alone, and £0.50 litre in the 18 months of ownership. I'm still waiting for the 5p cut to kick in - of course I'm not holding my breath...

I do that now when it reaches half and it's £2.00 a litre for E5 now. Waiting for Johnson to cut the fuel duty by 50p a litre and reduce VAT to 10% to help the public and himself as put forward by the media and journos, he's not doing anything and is heading for annihilation at the polls.

He's hinted that the 'duty' (a word they made up to squeeze more money out of motorists) will come down with some of Europe already cutting their tax by 20p to 30p a litre. My motorist action group which I belong to is constantly on to the gov. as well as the fair fuel price group.
It's no use hoping for a cut from bojo but time to demand to stop being ripped off. |

Now that a new PM is in it looks like the same old story with silence on double whammy fuel tax, vat with their self made up 'duty' being forgotten as usual together with the long awaited 80 mph proposal.
The two party system is a disaster for the country and a new people's gov is needed that does not make war on motorists a priority. |
