sorted byCome Monday VAT is down to 15% so fuel should be even cheaper by then.
Voted hot
You'll be lucky to get 1p off, if anything.
If it was a deal, I'd like to see a free Wii with every 50 litres or something.
edit: 87.9 in Waitrose, Sheffield btw
With oil at less than 50$ a barrel, petrol should be at the most around 83p per litre and diesel the [COLOR="Red"]SAME[/COLOR]
The Government have put up duty on Petrol to offset that VAT reduction.
I also contest the word 'bargain' - £1.04 for every litre of diesel I put in is almost 20p more than last year. Its a flaming scam...
There - off my chest...
It is still, though, cheaper than mineral water!
Answer: the petrol companies are SUBSIDISING the price of unleaded by overcharging for diesel. This could well be down to the fact that company car drivers (who don't usually pay for their own fuel) by and large drive diesel cars now, so they are a soft target...
actually thats incorrect.
fuel duty was 50.5p and 17.5% added VAT (8.84p) = 59.34p in tax/duty
since darlings stealth increasing budget
fuel duty now 52.5p and 15% added VAT (7.88p) = 60.37p in tax/duty
So tax actually has gone up
Not forgetting the 8% increase in alcohol duty which he conveniently forgot to mention during the budget speech :roll:
Correct VAT i coming down, but the wonderful chancellor has increased fuel duty by the 2.5.% so we will not benefit in reduction from VAT! :x
Sorry didnt see all the replies already- -didnt read this far until i had posted.
I cannot believe they actualy sell any of the Diesel Ultimate fuel, given the scandelous price, and the Which magazine report on so called super fuels earlier this year. Anyone who buys it is a moron.
Diesel is still far cheaper in France than Petrol check out the Auchan Calais site (in English) to compare
