With the increasing rise in Petrol prices comes the increasing rise in food prices and heating and fuel costs. Why then do our wages not go up in conjunction with this and those on benefits (for what ever reason they need to be) get penalised for this too. Before you start shouting the Government are now penalising the poor even further by taxing ...

UK petrol prices are disgusting. I understand why they are going up and although they are quite high I think they will continue to rise. Why is it that we do seem to live in rip off Britain though and get charged way more than most countries? They are getting higher and it is going to get to the point that I cant ...

There is plenty of reason to be worried. But should we really be so outraged? The difficulty is one of fairly simple supply and demand. We all drive to wherever we need to go, and because it makes life really simple we are happy to burn vast amounts of petrol and ignore the consequences. Furthermore, because we rely so heavily on ...

The cost of petrol is not the only bone of contention its also the tax which we have to pay on the money, with which we pay for petrol, I worked it out that, my little Peugeot, which I've had for about 8 years, the first time I filled it up cost me £27, last week it cost me over £44.00 which I have had to pay tax on @ 20 pence in the pound on my ...

First of all, id like to say that i empathise with both sides about petrol prices, i can see why people say the price is too high, becasue it has gone up a lot but it is something that people need to be more sensative about using, because it isnt good for us, the planet and the more we use it the harder it will be when it is all ...

I was sold three "10 plus" plans from a self-employed salesman on behalf of Abbey Life. He tried to sell me a fourth. He also sold me a lump sum, one off pension investment for £2,000 in 1980 and gave me quotes as to great potential growth. Unfortunately, he made it out as a first payment for regular investment. ...

I don't think that petrol is expensive at all. Well when you consider the amount that it costs here in the UK with other countries it may look expensive, but its really not. Let me explain why: Petrol is a limited commodity. There is a finite resource and eventually it will run out. How much would you pay to enjoy coffee today, if you ...

First of all, in order to put the record straight, petrol prices in Uk are high, but so are in most European countries. We need to accept that petrol is one of the most taxed items. Most of the money we pay for our petrol goes to the taxman. I spend around 30-40 Pounds per month since I have a relatively limited use of my car when I am in UK, ...

UK petrol prices are having a big impact on companies and people that need to travel. Current price of fuel in my area is Petrol Cheapest : 95p expensive 103p diesel cheapest: 98p expensive 106p It costs me £20 extra to travel each week than it did before 2000. Various factors come in to play in the price of ...

UK Petrol prices Are we being ripped off on the price of the petrol in the UK, well simply the answer is a huge YES! Based on the amount of tax that we have to pay for the good it’s a huge amount that doesn’t even go to the funding of the road network but in to the government treasury to pay for all services and facilities and I see ...

For anyone’s that’s read any of my previous postings about the wonderful world of taxation you will have realised by now that I am dull in my view on this subject but consistently dull (to be fair) in my ongoing gripes about UK taxation. Basically, we pay too much tax and the tax that we pay is not used particularly wisely by any government let ...

Driving in most countries is expensive. UK is in most expensive top ten list in Europe for petrol price. Petrol price is too high and I blame the government. Consider the following facts. Presume cost of petrol for a litre was 90p. Below is the breakdown of where this money goes. Tax duty= 47.1p Cost of ...

UK is one of the most expensive places for petrol. None of the money made from the petrol is gone to improve life for the motorist. Gallon of petrol costs £4.50. Is that fair on the motorist. No because there is no alternative to driving my car, public transport sucks. In winter standing outside for hours for a bus to come is not ...

I'm not an expert on this subject, I just believe that raising the price on petrol is the only way to stop people from driving everywhere and destroying the planet. Everyday I walk to school. It's a 15 minute walk which I do four times a day. But most people just hop in the car, even if they live just down the road from their school. Everyday ...

Are we being ripped off? Well of course we are and we all know it. The governments Policy is if it moves tax it and if it doesnt move tax it. AND if we can convince you its bad for you we can treble or quadruple the tax on it. Lets please face the Obvious, cars and planes are here to stay. We don't all want to go on a walking holiday ...

I hate petrol prices and I hate the government trying to tell everyone to use public transport. I live in a tiny village. There is no public transport. I have no choice but to have a car. I wouldn't object so much to the petrol prices if it wasn't for the fact that it is mostly tax, and the government don't even spend this money on ...

Let me tell you a little story, about 3million years the dinosaurs died. Lucky buggers, cos they never had to put up with Petrol at £1 a litre. Last time I looked, fuel was not free, and I'm not even going to suggest making it free. What I am going to suggest is the following... 1. Tell the American's to pay their fair share. 2. ...

Yes of course we are being robbed. But the best part about it is the fact that the British public are extremely stupid and gullible as to believe it has to be this way, we no longer posess the ability to stand up against anything. We are a nation of easily led individuals, and are very easy to dictate to, this will not change. So, the result is ...

I've just launched a new scheme. www.peoplespetrol.com We are trying to negotiate with fuel wholesalers to offer a discount to the average punter on the street. Private motorists, some of us who help fuel the economy with our mileage, business travel and the fuel we buy, should, I beleive be entitled to a fuel ...
