Fuel prices

[cerruti]

Every day that I ride my bike to work instead of driving my car, I save £12 in fuel

The price that we pay here is beyond obscene.

Note though, that Trowbridge/Westbury etc is the most expensive area for fuel, I fill up in Bristol and save at least 5p per litre.

same here, I've started filling up in Swindon now I'm working there for a whilet and it's saving me a bit every time

Ignoring Income Tax,National Insurance [Tax],Value Added Tax, Council Tax, Booze Duty [Tax], Baccy Duty[Tax], Insurance Premium Tax, Road Fund Tax, Air Passenger Tax, ----Tax Avoidance costs too for us to make up the shortfall ;D -- whoops !!! almost forgot Stamp Duty [Tax] for those with money to buy houses

I reckon fuel is reasonable

costs somat like 55p plus duty and vat c.85p=140p/l

As a tiny example of how well our taxes are spent we need look no further than the Navy that has about 25 what we would call a proper ship/ boat type thing then there are a few speedboaty things called HMS Somat or other--

-anyways there are about 29 Admiral rank and if you think perhaps 2 Captains/ ship to give us about 50 Captains then think on because we are more than adequately supplied with over 225 Captains salaried around £85k plus perks

----nearly 10 Captains/ ship

I know it is not a bike, but I thought I would mention that I filled a lorry's fuel tanks today and it cost £1,378.
