poppet2 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Er, who'll fund this so-generous discount? [A: we, the mug taxpayers, that's who] It's give & take Jeffrey, as with the whole tax system. You can't decide what you do and don't want your tax to go towards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 It's give & take Jeffrey, as with the whole tax system. You can't decide what you do and don't want your tax to go towards. I agree. But should the change be implemented at all? Anyone who lives in- or moves to- a rural area knows very well that such costs will inevitably be greater there.

Many people that live such distances are farmers and they use their farm vehicles on the road with subsidised red diesel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorpist Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I am confused as to where the varied petrols are produced. According to the media 70% of Scotlands petrol is produced at Grangemouth, so I assume they deliver this product to nearly all the stations and just put a different logo on the tanker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davyboy Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 According to a tanker driver I knew, the cheap super market petrol is of lower quality than, for example Shell. It has fewer or no additives. Like most things in life I suppose you get what you pay for. Occasionally, I put the higher grade petrol in our cars (mini one and qashqai) but I don't know if it makes a lot of difference. Does it give better MPG or clean the engine?

biotechpete Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 For what purpose would additives be added? Increased Octane, prevent corrosion and provide lubrication. Just better efficiency and engine life really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
