I feel sory for the mail they are a bit like a dime relative.

The AA said that this rise, from 90.56p a litre to 95.01p a litre, had coincided with the price of oil rising about five dollars a barrel.
Yet in the same period last year, when oil prices rose 10 dollars a barrel, petrol only went up 1.3p, from 106.8p a litre to 108.1p a litre.

Sorry DM that is called the exchange rate and 2p extra tax no real conspiracy there.

Don't know about prices.....but some swine decided to demolish the Esso garage just round the corner from me yesterday (no idea what they are planning to build there).

Now I've got to drive to bloomin Morrisons for the stuff. Typical.

They knocked our Esso down and we wondered for ages what they were going to do with with it, when hey presto a Tesco express with fuel pumps appeared!

Yes. The garages list the prices on boards outside.

I heard there may be another 2p duty put on after April 22nd also. Don't know if this is true yet though.

Yep, another 2p rise in September. No mention of the 2p rise they already did this month. So effectively 4p rise in fuel duty this year.

Also the 2p duty they put on in November.

So all in all, will have been 6p duty put on a litre in less than a year come September.

Has that ever been beaten!?

Darling reintroduced a fuel price escalator in the budget - 1p per litre plus inflation for the next 4 years.

Sadly this was inevitable whoever wins the election - its a key green tax and both parties are apparently committed to this. And it worked - people drove less and drove slower when prices were bonkers.

Fuel charges have ramifications to industry too. Those. to me, are more worrying. I can't help feel we need to see increase in fuel duty to support the other environmental moves we'll be having,to take, increasingly.
