    Fuel costs.

    I'm suffering a bit of a moral dilemma here as to whether the cost of fuel is high enough or not. I am, however, completely certain that I'm fed up of the massive tax burden placed on us in general and huge amout of duty taken from fuel costs so I did sign the petition.

    Petition to: Reduce Fuel duty to bring fuel prices back to an acceptable level.
    Still hoping to become Comfortably Numb but feel more Dazed & Confused.

    3 times, you've already paid income tax earning the money to buy the fuel.

    I can't afford one! It seems that the only point of having your own company is so you can take unpaid holidays, not take holidays and not pay yorself when things aren't good.

    F*ck*ng taxes and government!

    It was high enough when it reached a pound a litre, I think it should have been capped at that with the government taking a tax cut. When I filled my tank yesterday petrol had gone up by 5p a litre since the last fill (9 days), by that reckoning thats a rise of around 200% a year!!!
