Most of you will have noticed that diesel now costs on average 8P per litre more than petrol when for a long time there was only 4P difference.
Will we see the spiel about more folk wanting heating oil so that why??????????????



Skip, don't be a mug mate, the reason is the same as ciggy tax hikes, it's to pay off some of the LABOUR gained debt, some more to arm up for some more middle east bashing and finally to pay back what the banks lost us.

Before long they will have appeals in schools for kids to donate their pocket money, that's how dim and clooless these educated folks are.

Me, I'm semi self educated, lived 3 recessions, seen every scheming idiot god created and can read folks by just how they are standing, and more important, I can do maths without a calculator and know if everyone stands on one side of a boat it's going to capsize.



I don't buy the Labour gained debt anymore since the Tories have borrowed more this last year than Labour ever did in one year.

With every 2p a litre rise in duty gets the Government an extra £200million a day in revenue, servicing the national debt and paying it off costs the Government £125million a day, they are earning some serious money with every 2p a litre rise.

Unless they do a u turn that will become 400 million a day from Jan due to a 4P duty increase
