VPower derv makes even less difference than petrol vpower does.

If my maths is correct they pay roughly $3.82/83 per imperial gallon, so £2.40 compared to our £5.95......

Pisses me off that the goverment has the tax on it so they project the tax income from it, but when the oil price rise they now get more tax as a little brucey bonus.
There should be a limit on the tax taken.

No we wouldn't. The main reason the price of fuel is so high is all the tax the UK goverment puts on it.
Without tax, we'd be paying about 60p a litre.

The country would also be fucked, even more so than it is now!

So it costs how much more than america just because we live in the uk?! I say they should cap the tax on it so on the hikes it stays the same then when it drops they make a bit more. I only have to cry once a month, £73.70 to fill

similarly with mine, 170+ Bhp, oodles of torque, 30 quid a year road tax and mid 60s mpg. as pow says its still to much though. 50 quid a week in fuel is a joke
