on the front of one scottish paper. theres a garage where hes chargeing £1.99 a liter for both petrol and desiel.
sitting reading a bit in the express last night. that currently a litre of petrol is around 36p the rest is tax and vat. ok that i did know, what i didnt was that the oil taken out of the north sea for the uk is also taxed at around 50%. so although these oil comanies are making billions every year its on a world wide scale. it made a nice read

paid £1.27 for super on friday
