Yet again the Current Govt. have decided that the motorist is
the best place to fund it’s profligate spending on propping up banksters, an overspent MOD a huge welfare bill and have
decided to squeeze everyone with more duty on fuel. This is absurd given that
they will be just fueling inflation at the very time when heating, electricity
bills etc. have been increased by 6 – 9% ! Triple dip recession here we come.
With large businesses like Amazon Vodaphone, Starbucks and
others all dodging their tax bills with tax avoidance schemes we the public are
being forced to pay.
Spending on petrol has been reduced and Vol. of petrol sales
has fallen by 15% since the credit crunch started as people use less on fuel. This
has to correspond with a fall in tax take so they have decided the only way
around this is to tax more to make it up.
You have to question when all the pips will have been squeaked
and given the fact that fuel consumption has been falling it seems bonkers that
they think they can get much more out of the motorist. With 60% of the price of
fuel being tax the only way around this is to go for cheaper fuel options – LPG
which has a 18 months – 2 year payback period has to be the only way forward as
the maths get more and more viable for many.
My view is if you are fed up paying the tax man for the
errors of others – switch to LPG and save now.
