What's up with the petrol prices!!!
I spend a little time away & a litre of petrol is over 112p a litre!!!!
I was paying about 38p for a litre of high octane 98 petrol in Kaz. Admitteldy, their health care & roads suck big time so Swings n'Roundabouts. |

Re: What's up with the petrol prices!!!
Oil prices are high. This is where I confuse people by pointing out that total point of sale taxation on petrol including VAT is lower per litre in real terms than in 2000 People say "I'll vote for anyone who cuts petrol tax". Vote for Brown, he increased it once I think in 99 but since then it's never once increased at the rate of inflation- ie tax cut.
