Lucifer Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I have been thinking about it for some time now, and it has got to that point for me where the price of fuel because of TAX has gotten too much. Fuel prices are terrible. Why is it our country is the most expesive country in the worl for fuel? Surely to got the government shoul rise the taxes on Alcohol and Fags rather then fuel. I can live without them, can't live without fuel!! Â Can you live without the NHS where most of the taxes go. No I don,t need an operation, I need petrol.

Longcol Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/ene_gas_pri-energy-gasoline-prices UK are second in the world for the most expensive fuel.  On the page you've linked to it says the source of the data is;  "Gasoline prices by country", German Agency for Technical Cooperation (GTZ), Fuel Prices and Taxation (1999) and the electronic update for 2000."

Â No, but i can definatly live without being a member of the EU , which is where millions of our taxes also go on a daily basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0widdy0 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Any updates on where fuel is available today? I live in Gleadless and need unleaded, have barely any fuel in car so can't go far to buy some. Is the station at Townend or the one near Bramall lane with fuel?  Thanks to anyone who can advise =)  i've been to one at bottom of east bank less than an hour ago, no one else there and still got fuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldtrout Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Has the panic buying ceased to be... ...Or is evryones tank full up now?  I've not panicked yet! Should I be worried about this? I'd hate to be the only person in the country without a full tank  It is a worry for those who rely on fuel for their business and livelihood, or those who live in isolated places, but are we not supposed to have a week's notice of a strike anyway?
