I see the Sun is running some poster thing to highlight that 60% of the price of fuel is now tax.
The government is going to bring the country to a standstill unless they either A) Cap fuel as it has been talked about, which is probably just as silly an idea ot B) make the public transport better.
Both of those ideas are flawed but it's better than pricing people off the road, and out of work.
Go back 3-4 years and the % in tax was much MUCH higher. The duty rate on fuel has hardly moved from when fuel was below £1 per litre.
