Fuel Cost Comparo

[Gary Stockton]

Interesting article here:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-21238363

on fuel costs per country. Pity we don't have Venezuela's prices - about £2.00 to fill a 120's tank But then we'd need to have their president - and the price differential suddenly becomes irrelevant!!

I see South Africa is still one of the cheapest countries listed

Conveniently they seem to have missed Australia where they have a weekly (or bi-weekly) price cycle that changes from City (or Suburb) to City... which makes it one stage from being a lottery as to how much it costs to fill up. The only good news is that it's mainly the E10 carp that they vary the price on, 98 and Diesel stays pretty much constant and FJ73's drink enough 98 that you need to keep an eye on it!

£127 to fill my land cruiser if it was completely empty and without tax £55, Damn you greedy government

It always annoys me that we pay around 50% excise/fuel duty and then pay VAT on the total on top!

 

[silvercruiser]

And don't forget the road tax on top too

Don't forget insurance premium tax, and what do we get for it?

Yeah but without tax we would have a corrupt government , terrible traffic problems , a failing health service , mass unemployment , a useless police force , high crime rate , pathetic education facilities , a farcical justice system , and terrible immigration problems and a country going to the dogs .

Hi H07,

You really had me believing for a while, until almost at the end.
