Petrol has gone up again. I've worked it out that for every £60 quid I spend on petrol, around £35 goes to the government in tax. £35!!! Imagine that on a countrywide scale! VAT is added to both the levy, which is nearly 60p a litre, and the cost of the petrol. Revenue must be rocketing for the government, from petrol and from the rises in gas and electricity bills.
Petrol and diesel prices reach new record high
The price of fuel at the pump has risen with petrol at 148.02p a litre and diesel at 151.57p.
