Guest pelmetman Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Seems to me our lords and masters are unaware that the price of fuel is having a detrimental effect on the UK pulling out of this recession/depression *-) Not that it bothers them................as we will pay for their fuel no matter how expensive it gets >:-( Time for another election me thinks >:-) >:-) >:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peter James Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Diesel is an even bigger rip off than petrol in the UK. And feeds through into higher consumer prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malc d Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 These sort of ' statistics ' must be very annoying for people who are paying far more than that. In the north of Scotland last year diesel was £1.57 - goodness knows what it is now. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliveH Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 The info in the report I found interesting is not so much the cost of fuel itself, but the relationship to earnings. Whilst Norway is more expensive for example, the cost ratio of fuel to earnings in Norway is a fair bit lower than here in the UK. When the fuel duty increases yet again in August, this ratio will be greater still. That is why I fear that th UK is being and will be hit even harder by further tax increases than other countries by a tax that is causing economic stagnation.
