WON'T WORK, nice thought though

Supermarkets are BP/Esso's biggest customers, 69p a litre I don't think so, the chancellors take is about that much.

And as for sending me an unsolicited email, you'll get it back with a pressie!!! ;) :16:

1997 Petrol...19.9p per litre...Plus 47.8p tax&duty

Average figures

[gregers]

bloody hell local tesco is now 102.9ltr,why the rise in only a few hours??????????

[gregers]

tescos is now 103.9 WHENS IT GOING TO STOP

[adrianf.]

Wasnt there something in a budget a while age about freezing duty on fuel but adding it at a later date.

 

Maybe that date has arrived.

[mumof4]

its to do with the price of oil me thinks.

[El Dingo]

It's all about duty and tax, as Big_Kev's post demonstrates.

 

Unfortunately, parties of all political colours would like to see more tax on fuel. The blue ones instigated the fuel tax escalator, the red ones increased it, stalled it, then increased it again, and the yellow ones would like to 'significantly increase' it.

 

So we can't even vote for a (realistically electable) low fuel tax party... :14:

[MadBaz]

So we can't even vote for a (realistically electable) low fuel tax party... :lol:

 

 

LETS START ONE,

The Low Fuel Tax Party....

 

Mumof4 as party leader/PM

Seatkid as chancellor

Nikpv as education minister

Gregers as the party whip (or is that whipped)

Big Kev in charge of womens affairs

etc...etc......

[big_kev]

Sounds good to me......can I measure the ladies for uniforms ?

[gregers]

and mad baz in charge of the asylum.

[mumof4]

eeeekkkk!!!..why me in charge? that means id get the blame for BK measuring the ladies uniforms wrong! LMAO

[teresa]

it would cost a fortune in uniforms kev would be distracted very easily

[Bigjeeze]

It's not about Tax- Yes the tax is excessive and Yes it has added an extra 2p per litre recently - but these rises are about the oil companies cashing in big time on the current price of oil. The fuel we are using currently is somewhat over 2 years old - It isn't oil that was drilled and pumped at current prices - it was obtained when prices were at a normal level - So what it does mean is that the Oil companies are going to make an absolute fortune as they are collecting around 10-15p per litre extra with no extra cost. Witness Sheel & BP's profits last year whne this situation occured the year before.

 

The chancellor is maing lots of extra money too - but it's the oil companies. I would think that this protest needs to be ion the order fo 3-5 days to have any effect. Please note the mail was originated in the US - We don't have anything like 300m people in the UK (well maybe illegals)

[big_kev]

Apparently this Monday the 19th is the day not to buy fuel.....
