The 69p/litre breaks down as roughly
(11p/litre retail price + 47p duty) + 10p vat
On Friday crude oil was $77/barrel (of 159 litres)
pound/dollar was 0.49, so raw material is 23p/litre
In effect you expect the crude to be bought, refined, delivered and then
retailed at less than half the current raw material price?

Yes, the Govt keep very quiet about how much they cream off of every single
litre sold.
They're quite happy to paint the oil companies as the bad guys.
The fuel protesters should be targeting the UK Govt.

The only reason British Soldiers are being killed every day is because of
oil. We're in countries over events that do not concern us.

Not really true. People have been complaining for years because they
take 90% in tax.
