UK Petrol Prices Reviews

Petrol prices are going up almost on a weekly basis, draining more money out of our wallets and into the government coffers and the the oil companies share holders. I believe it is time for us to take action and Boycott the Pumps. The Daily Mail is helping to run an excellent campaign which has already started to sweep the country. Do not ...

The never ending tax increases on fuel prices are a grievance to most people I know. Even if they dont affect you directly because you dont drive, they affect everything by increasing haulage costs for lorry firms. We bought a diesel car several years ago because at the time diesel was so much cheaper. Now it is dearer than unleaded. We ...

It doesn't make sense. Over and over, I ask myself why the government are doing this to us, and I keep coming up with the same answer - I don't know. I understand the environmental issues, the congestion, the road safety etc. I just don't understand why the government is prepared to risk the economic life of Britain (by way ...

Petrol price to rise again The price of petrol and diesel will rise again from midnight on Wednesday, November 3, 2000. The petrol price will rise by 1 cent per litre to R2,87 for unleaded fuel (91 octane) and R2,91 for leaded fuel (93 octane). The difference between the price of petrol at the coast and on the reef ...

With Britain being an oil producing nation you would expect petrol prices to be amongst the lowest in Europe. They are currently the highest. The duty is yet another back door tax that has been continually increased above inflation year on year. This adds expense to every family in the Uk whether they use a car or not. The cost ...

Whilst I agree that we are paying too much tax for fuel I personally think that the Aug.1st campaign will have little impact against the government and petrol companies. Anyone who needs petrol will just fill up on other days. The problem is two-fold. 1 The government needs money to run the country (like schools, hospitals ...

I'm beginning to wonder where all the poloticians in this country come from, If they are from outside London do they immediately get flashy thinged ( as in Men in Black) as soon as they reach Westminster and forget what life is really like for the rest of us. The state of the job market now means more and more people are having to ...

Here we go again,price of petrol up again,when are we (all the british) going to get a fair crack of the whip,i thought we are supposed to be a part of the EU or am i wrong?. Everything we buy here we are taxed more than any other country i now of, petrol at least 80%i heard is taxed it,s criminal so are ciggarettes and hand rolling tobbaco.If us ...

When I first purchased my car it cost £15 for a full tank, it's now nearer the £25 mark. As well as the cost of road fund licence increasing, MOT and servicing I feel that cars are being priced off the roads. Why do we pay so much tax as very little appears to be reinvested on the transport infrastructure. If given a choice between running ...

At every oppurtunity the government has inreased fuel tax by at least 5p a litre. In the past , 5p a gallon was considered a massive price hike. When the brits used to drive on the continent we thought there prices were dear, now, if you live near Dover it pays to pop to France to fill up. I have to use lead free four star as I ...

I have been driving for six years now. When I got my first car, petrol was 54p a litre. Now it is 85p a litre. This increase is appauling. No other product would increase this much in such a short space of time. A price increase like this should not be tolerated and it wouldn't be toelrated in any other country. OK, so oil prices go up, ...

We all know that we pay a lot of tax every time we buy petrol. I doubt many of us can remember how much. How about if tax on fuel was handled in the same way as VAT. In other words, the product was priced separately to the tax. We saw that we were paying (for example) 10p for our petrol and then 800% tax, making it 90p (these figures ...

I, like most people in the UK, hate the high petrol pices that we have to pay. However I would like to take a moment of your time to but across a different view that should be considered. Firstly I would like the goverment to publish the actual cost of maintaining the UK highways and let's actually see how much we as drivers need to ...

Petrol in the UK is the dearest in the world, with the exception of a few small communist countries where it's not readily available or is rationed by the government(thus the trade in expensive black market trading). In my area of the country the price varies from 82.9pence per litre to a whopping 90 pence per litre, and when you further ...

I will definately be joining the boycott on 1st August. As a disabled person i rely on my car to get me around. In fact if it wasn't for my car I would rarely leave the house as public transport is useless to me. With the price of petrol rising more and more and my allowances staying the same, my money is not going as far as it should ...

WE will be joining the boycott of petrol on Aug 1st,we are only a small family business,we run 2 vans and 3 cars,so although our contribution will hardly make a dent in the economy,I do feel that as the momentum for this boycott is growing,we will be able to show the powers that be that enough is enough...they must think we are all a pint short of ...

The price of petrol has been a talking point for generations, and it was inevitable that it would reach this fever pitch stage. The cost of living has been steadily rising, and petrol is a key part of this, particularly in today's society. I do my bit for the environment - we only have the one car, which my wife uses to get to work and for ...

The taxation of petrol in the uk is a bloody disgrace.Without sounding political,labour has let the common people down yet again.If maggie had been prime minister would we have stood for it---NO.Where does the revenue thats earned from the north sea oilfields go ?????,as an oil producing country surely our petrol prices should be lower.The way its ...

85% tax, isn't that a little bit excessive? I know the government is trying to cut down on the number of cars on the road, but the stupid amounts of tax is obviously not helping. If the public transport system was half-decent then people might be encouraged to get the bus to work. But until this happens, people will still use ...

It cost me £39 to fill my car up yesterday. I thoroughly agree with the call from the Federation of Small Business to "Dump the Pump" by not filling up on Monday 1 August or any Monday after that. 70% of the price of a litre of petrol goes in fuel duty and VAT. This time last year a litre of petrol cost about 70 pence, today it is 83.7 ...
