Sainsbury Denton diesel was £1.79.9 at half six this eveningJust been to Ashton and we passed a garage on the way ..she said £1.81.9 per litre was scandalous..came back about an hour later and it had gone up to £1.83.9 per litre...
Robbing bastards
Fuel duty remains the same, but income from VAT increasesEarlier on TV they said that for every £ spent at the pump the government takes 52p!! They are laughing at us.
Don't think it is to be honest. Fuel has to meet a minimum standard. Supermarket fuel does as they wouldn't be able to sell it. BP and Shell etc put additives in their fuel to help clean injectors and fuel lines etc.
I brought a brand new Vivaro van a few years ago for work. I only ever used to fill up at BP for nectar points. Then sainsbury decided to build a big supermarket with a fuel station near to my house. We shopped there, so it made sense to fill up there. After a dozen or so fill ups my vans dashboard was lit up like a Christmas tree. And seriously under powered.
Took it to the dealer and they asked me where I had been filling up. The mechanic then told me about the fuel and they see it quite a lot with supermarket fuel.
Neve been near a supermarket fuel station since. And never had any problems since. (touch wood).
That's why Governments love long slow moving traffic jams, all that extra petrol being burned up. Sod the environments.So every 50 litres is an extra £4 tax the treasury is gaining
Of course this is from private motorists as Companies claim the VAT back
If this was the case then there’d be cars breaking down everywhere. Mechanics (especially dealer mechanics) will always try and blame the driver if they can, it’s easier to bump up the bill because the customer feels guilty about being “part of the problem”. One of the oldest tricks. Plus a dealer won’t want to admit they might have sold you a lemon.Don't think it is to be honest. Fuel has to meet a minimum standard.

And also why they don't want the public to give up the fags and boozeThat's why Governments love long slow moving traffic jams, all that extra petrol being burned up. Sod the environments.
