    Full of smoke, mirrors, obfuscation and political grand-standing. It gets quietly revised as the weeks go by (usually in response to changing economic and political events), so treat it as a statement of intent rather than anything to believe or rely on. The important stuff is hidden away and released quietly, usually by HMRC.

    Fuel duty actually reduces proportionately as the commodity prices increase because of the stabilisers applied. The problem is the open market price of the commodity, caused by giving bankers unlimited amounts of free money to gamble. So they gamble. As anyone else would with free money to play with where you get to keep any winnings but walk away if you lose [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
