pabloh20 1 Report post Posted June 10, 2008 For us UKers, it is purely due to the duties and tax that the govt imposes. I did read somewhere a while ago that we actually have the cheapeast or one of the cheapest prices before the govt adds its wedge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mein Kraut is shlect Anyway, mock the Illuminati-ated Ones and thou shalt feel their wrath. I believe it's a 36B. Petrol costs: Looks like a fuel/barrel cost issue mainly, and a bit of crafty extra taxation for most countries priced around that of the US. The UK? It's, "Shaft the motorist for every penny you can. Get them to pay four times what's spent on roads and associated costs such as emergency services, hospitals (accidents) etc, then when that is nicely underway, make damn sure the public transport system is so crap that the daft gits will carry on using their cars and perpetuating the cycle of ripping them off".

cavallino 2 Report post Posted June 10, 2008 I still think it's too cheap. It should go up to about $2.5/ litre in Australia to get all the gas guzzling cars off the road, clearing up the roads a bit and finally get the government to do something about the dismal public transport. I cycle to work, it'll be awesome to have less annoying cars on the road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cavallino 2 Report post Posted June 10, 2008 PS: Britain's such a tiny country anyway, why is it such a huge deal? Maybe in cities, but then as far as I know, it's prohibitively expensive to keep a car in london wih congestion charges and the public transport is pretty good? PS: Way way way too cheap in USA obivously, what a waste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monza gorilla 1 Report post Posted June 10, 2008 OK, I have to ask, why is it Winston's fault? Originally, all road tax (the Road Fund Licence) went back into road building and such. Winnie changed that so it all just poured into the general tax bin. And nobody's bothered to change it back. B@stards. High fuel prices should encourage us to buy fuel efficient shopping trolleys, is the government line. So, obviously, that's why mine's in the shop being converted to use at least 30% more juice...... But on the plus side it will be much louder when I get it back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds a fair system before Winston cobbled it, thanks for that Monza.
