the vans are taking about £130 each to fill up for the week. it s up to over £300 a week, where it was, you know, down in the 200s beforehand. everyone s struggling. we re struggling at home. the staff are struggling. you know, we re all struggling. so, it s not only fuel, it s everything else that s going up. at least his business can claim back the vat on fuel, a tax break not available to regular motorists, spending on average over £100 on a tank of petrol for the first time. the price at the pump is about more than just the cost of fuel. in fact, of that £1.82 record per unleaded litre, only 9ap is the cost of the petrol itself. transporting it costs 2p. the retailer takes a margin of 3p, then the government adds 53p in fuel duty recently cut from 58 and then puts vat on the whole lot for another 30p. so 46%, nearly half, is tax,

the price at the pump is about more than just the cost of fuel. in fact, of that £1.82 record per unleaded litre, only 91tp is the cost of the petrol itself. transporting it costs 2p. the retailer takes a margin of 3p and the government adds 53p in fuel duty, recently cut from 58p, and then puts vat on the whole lot for another 30p. so 46%, nearly half, is tax, and because prices have risen so quickly, the government is now getting more money than before it cut fuel duty, which is why people now are calling on it to do more. motoring organisations say nearly 20% are taking fewerjourneys, and those on low incomes or with no choice but to drive are being hit hardest. the situation is really severe. so we need the chancellor to cut duty immediately by 10p per litre and introduce a fuel price stabiliser. when prices go up, duty should come down. if prices go down, duty can go up.
