Yes but Fuel Duty is a Tax levied by our government.
To be fair to the oil companies, 30 pence is not bad considering what they have to do, to find, drill, ship, refine, store, ship again, make a bit of profit, sell to the petrol station, and for the station to make a bit of profit.
Now forgive me for being wrong here, but doesn't the Government just sit on their big fat a###'s and take all our money to give to the banks so we can borrow our own loney and pay interest on it?
