Re: Petrol Prices
MOTORISTS will be shocked at the huge amount of tax Gordon Brown siphons off for Treasury coffers at the petrol pump.The Treasury’s share from petrol amounts to 73 per cent, leaving just the scraps to the petrol stations, distributors and producers.
While we fork out 61p to the Treasury for every 83p litre of fuel, lucky Americans stump up just 8p tax in a 30p litre. That’s the equivalent of 27 per cent.
On the Continent, France also pays 73 per cent to the government, but their petrol costs 75p a litre. Just 55p is tax.
Wow no wonder people get ****ed off.
