Not only that but the uk is a net importer of deisel - we don't make enough for ourselves. Deisel is currently �1.06 per litre up here.Originally posted by esrikandan View PostHmmmm...interesting.
The reason Diesel is more expensive is that is actually is more expensive to produce. In a given amount of crude, you get about one half the amount of diesel compared to petrol. The reason it used to be cheaper is that it attracted a lower rate of tax at one time.Rat

Diesel is more expensice now due to a change in Duty policy. Because Diesel is more poluting that petrol...they have added more duty to it. It is all to do with the amount of Sulpher and soot it produces.My phone has more Processing power than the Computers NASA used to fake the Moon Landings

Which is why it's called Vehicle Licence, not road tax. Really gets up my nose when people say horse riders should pay tax. We do, through the rip-off passport scheme. Neither payment goes to upkeep of the roads - council tax does, which is why the condition of the roads varies so much between counties. No wonder there are so many 4WDs in Surrey...Originally posted by Two_Sheds View PostNo.
Road tax is just a general tax - it doesn't pay for maintenance, and it doesn't entitle car drivers to exclusive use of the roads either *
OH did experiment last year with putting cooking oil into his L200, but then the supermarkets cottoned on and raised that, too. Surprise!

Apparently our Tdi (Naomi) could run on cooking oil mix but my Denzel (latest Defender) can't
Anyway I think Biofuel will be a bad way to go as its production is less green than the government makes out, and will mean food shortages......
And don't get me started on the government, the economy, the budget, or 'elf 'n safety, I've been very very restrained....... *breathe in, breathe out.........Hayley B

Here here RedThorn well said mate!! It cost me �3.00 everytime I want to go and see my daughter. I live in Essex she lives in Kent, then the fuel on top of that! Now there is talk of yet another crossing nearby to ease congestion! How much will that cost us I wonder???Originally posted by RedThorn View PostAnd then condone congestion charges and thinking about extra road levies on busy roads!
Dartford crossing's debt was paid off a couple of years ago and the toll was supposed to be scrapped, but was decided to keep, 6 month's ago up by 50%
for something that should not even still be there!
The government are just money grabing b%^&"r&s when it comes to fuel costs, road tax, congestion charges, toll fees what ever thay can come up with!!! It's us poor motorists that have to pay through the nose!

But if you cooking oil that has alredy been used (chip shops) it is great. Saves the oil being poured down the drains or being burried in land fill.Originally posted by HayleyB View PostApparently our Tdi (Naomi) could run on cooking oil mix but my Denzel (latest Defender) can't

Is that as opposed to all the governments we've had since the introduction of the internal combustion engine ?Originally posted by PAULW View PostIt would be a lot cheaper if this robbing government didn't take 75p in every pound in fuel duty
