Re: Fuel prices
Well if Groove is so upset, maybe he should buy a diesel car and make his own bio diesel, there are plenty of websites explaining what you need to do. Or he could get a LPG conversion for his car, or even just get rid of it.
No one is enjoying paying for fuel, but until they come up with something better we are stuck with it.
In comparison to other products, Petrol/Diesel is very cheap, try running your car on vodka and see how much it costs then.
After all most of the cost we pay is in taxation, so the fuel company have to find it, drill it, ship it, refine it, and transport it to the petrol station, then pump it into your tank.
The current breakdown is something like this. Unleaded £1.33 per litre, so fuel duty is £0.58, VAT is £0.27, Refinery and distribution to the pump £0.43, leaving £0.05 for the Petrol station's costs and profit.
Quite reasonable really.
