claycraft Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 So you'd all rather pay through the nose for your fuel and the knock on effects that then entails? Good on em I say! I'm off to the petrol station for a spot of panic buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fareast Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Craigmason :- They pay more here so that our government can build more Domes and such like and send a hefty dollop to Europe to help their poor farmers. We all have to make sacrifices........well.......er.......except the government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cycleracer Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Something really has to be done, how much longer are we going to get ripped off with rising fuel costs. I am a little worried as I will be in Arran on May 3rd so I better get ready to leave the car at Prestwick in case I have to fly home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I mistaken in thinking they are permitted to use a much lower tax threshold diesel fuel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I mistaken in thinking they are permitted to use a much lower tax threshold diesel fuel? they use green diesel dont they? same as ships can use red diesel... and they're both like almost tax free aren't they? thats why so many people get done for using it in their cars after finding a dodgy mate who's a farmer or sailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on em I say! Just to say I agree! It is about time someone started to protest about it again, a few days without fuel will make a major difference to my finances if we can stop the fuel increase.
