It’s the new normal. They know we pay £1.70, why should they go down to £1.35 again?
How much you paying for fuel.
- Thread starter Tashyboy
- Start date
£127 for just over 3/4’s of a tank ?

Filled up our Golf yesterday, had just sneaked into the Red. 169.9 for unleaded. £80 to full. Hmmm. Seems not that long ago that it was £60. I can afford, but things are getting a bit tight.
The poorest - well those that can afford to run a car - will struggle if I am starting to struggle. They need the chancellor to reinstate the £20/week pandemic supplement as nothing has improved since we decided the pandemic was over - in fact things have only got worse and quite simply the poorest of our society need that £20/week more than ever.

Just done the math for my driving.
At 8 litre for 100 km I used to pay about £430 for 2500 miles at £1.35, at £1.80 it goes up to £576. That’s a difference of £160.
And I am not sure I even drive that much at the moment.

It not just driving. Everything you buy has been transported and will go up in price.

As per BBC, prices have risen 40p per litre in a year and the Government gain 7p per litre compared to last spring. They still pocket 2p per litre more for now...

Still paying tax on a tax with fuel. Remove the VAT on the portion of fuel that is duty.

Will be interested to see if the 169.9/l for U/L at local pump has dropped to 164.9, then how long it takes to get back up.

Number of FB reports in our area of local petrol stations putting prices up again yesterday so even with the reduction we're actually no better off.

Rather than a token 5p off (which supermarkets do as promotional offers) I'd of rather seen vat slashed on fuel as vat on fuel is disgusting when it's tax on taxation already. That would have saved 30p at the pumps straight away and really benefited those who need it.

Bit like the eventual outcome of the 19% tax rate from 2024 given our tax free allowance has been frozen until 2026. Ah well. Announcements that sound fine but in the end don’t really help us at all. Maybe after 2026, but I’m not holding my breath…or indeed wishing my life away in anticipation. Anyway…it’s all something ?

I think the VAT is fine, it's the Duty that's wrong. There should only be a single generic tax like VAT, IMO it's wrong to apply additional taxation purely to milk the Public and Businessess.

I'd go along with that, one flat rate of tax for products

Brilliant eh? What a useless gesture. I filled up at my local Morrisons on Friday - £1.75 a litre. Last night, after 6pm and the price "reduction" it was £1.82
Thanks Rishi ye twit
