Our government rips off the motorist by taking well over 70% of the cost of a gallon of petrol in taxation.
The giant oil companies must prospect, raise to the surface, transport crude, process the crude and transport to the petrol stations who must also make a realistic profit. They deserve good profits.
Without the taxes, filling our tanks would cost about a quarter of what it does today.
All this being said - that the government is to blame and the oil companies actually earn their profits - I am afraid that the oil companies have taken advantage to rip us off.
The price of a barrel of oil has now dropped to around $100.
WHERE IS THE FALL AT THE PUMPS?
Petrol is the only commodity I know of where tax is levied on top of an earlier tax. If the petrol companies reduce their take, the government's cut will also fall.
Returning to the 80p a litre mark should be achievable.

Self explanatory title. I abhor that nicey nicey, politically correct, pseudo-Christianity which almost always supports leftwing attitudes - which in most cases are profoundly anti-Gospel. This Blog supports persecuted Christians. This Blog exposes cults. This Blog opposes junk science. UPDATED DAILY. This is not a forum. This Blog supports truly Christian websites and aids their efforts. It is hardhitting and unashamedly evangelical so if it offends - please do not come to this site!
