Fuel prices

[Trainfish]

Around here, if only. It's a 50+ mile round trip to a supermarket with a filling station.

We (the wife) keep getting them from Morrisons whose nearest filling station is about 16 miles away in Chippenham and yes, we would use up the discount by driving there and back. Me being me complained about it some time back but I just got a bog standard reply of it's a national thing etc etc. Strange though how my sister who lives in Chippenham is happy to take them from me as she never gets given the vouchers when she goes to the Chippenham store

Hope no-one in the UK had to fill up this morning - Rishi's knocking 5p/litre off motor fuel duty from 18:00 tonight.

A week or so ago, our 'money man' in the Government knocked 20 cent per litre off the petrol duty - prices at the pump went down about 6 cents! So if the garage owners in the UK are as bad as the ones in Ireland, don't expect the full 5p per litre. Just saying.

Weren't the wholesale fuel prices still going up at the same time, thus reducing the reduction?

BTW, reducing duty by 5p/litre "should" knock 6p/litre off the price - 5p plus VAT.

That may have been the case, but I do not think they went up by 14/15c per litre in a matter of hours. And if your local garage reduces the pump prices by 6p per litre at 6pm, I will buy you a pint.

surely you are not suggesting that, with the news reporting oil prices falling, an that man reducing fuel tax, and so the VAT on the fuel tax, that the present price increases are due simply to prifiteering by fuel companies ?

wash you mouth's out.

it is purely an ecenomic result of the war in Ukraine.

Of diesel?

Sorry Chris, can't afford that. 

[The Q]

A slight wander of subject but as if I heard right, VAT is being removed from energy efficient heating systems AND insulation.. so that's 20% off

Anyone for a foam Baseboard?
