Fuel duty is going up again at midnight. 

Works out approximately 2.3p a litre :(

I asked my local filling station and there might be an underlying half pence rise going on at the same time.

About 80 pence per litre is nor fuel duty, then there's VAT on the fuel AND the tax.

  what anoys me is weve got a thousand years worth of oil sitting off our coast but the eurobds say its too dirty to use as road feul but theyll happily buy it at stupid pence a litter refine it and sell it back to us . i say SODAMALL its our oil let us use it i mean look at china and india and the polution they are pumping out but they get away with it as there developing countrys  eurobods

my local garage said its gona shoot up by xmas, i think its sick the amount of stuff we gota pay out on fuel, it wont be long before the scum are back out niking it again

[Bob696]

What is most insulting is that we pay VAT on the duty.

[Yoshi]

Well it looks like some of the stations are trying to keep the prices down still, filled up in tesco at northampton and they have kept the price at 105.9 and morrissons said they wouldnt implement the rise until sept 6th at the earliest!

The price of veg oil is going to shoot up again then :roll:infact at one stage around here it cost more than Derv :shock: my chips just did'nt taste right cooked in Derv :lol: :lol: :lol:

I Daventry Derv is up to 111.9p a litre at 1 station. The one I use took it down 1p just as I arrived this morning.  :dance: still made it 109.9p though.  :twisted:

Not quite right RRB:

From 1st September 2009 Road Fuel Duties are (+ 15% VAT to 31-12-2009, + 17.5% VAT from 1-1-2010):

Fuel Duty on Petrol and Diesel = 56.2p/litre
Fuel Duty on Biodiesel = 36.2p/litre
Fuel Duty on Bioethanol = 36.2p/litre
Fuel Duty on LPG = 24.2p/kg
Fuel Duty on CNG = 19.3p/kg


From 1st April 2010 Road Fuel Duties will be (+ 17.5% VAT):
Fuel Duty on Petrol and Diesel = 57.2p/litre
Fuel Duty on Biodiesel = 37.2p/litre
Fuel Duty on Bioethanol = 37.2p/litre
Fuel Duty on LPG = 25.2p/kg
Fuel Duty on CNG = 20.3p/kg

I'm not trying to defend this Governments record on fuel duty but we should also be asking the petrol companies why the pump price hasn't gone down in line with crude oil prices. In March 2007, when petrol was (according to the AA) 90p per litre, the crude oil price was over $68/barrel and it's currently around $45 yet the pump price is over £1  :?

They already are.  
2,500litres of fuel oil and heating oil in the last 48hrs, on my patch.
The farmers are not happy.
I suggested a crime prevention measure of getting dummy tanks, fill it up with any old crud you can find, mix a bit of sugar in, some fine sand and other nasties and wait for it to be nicked. We'd soon find out who had stolen stuff in their tanks, by all the vehicles with blown engines.
My boss was not happy in case the people who nicked the stuff had an accident! :roll: I despair sometimes.

Don't forget Gordon's Environmental Tax on fossil fuels. The fuel companies and refineries get clobbered with this and they pass it on in the price before the duty is then added on top, I'm guessing it's somewhere in the region of 15p/l

Sorry, can you point me to the bit of legislation that covers this ... I can't find it.
