    The level of "duty" on petrol is not in place to act as a disinsentive to road users. It is set after very clever financial modelling to determine just how hard the stone can be squeezed to extract the optimum amount of blood with out it shattering.

    The same is true for the road fund licence, alcohol and tobacco.

    This may not be "The Matrix" but we're sure as hell getting milked.

    HTH.

    He can't be doing that well if he only has an E-Class, I feel for him then as the charges are probably too high for him

  • Car park operators accused of ripping off motorists following three-fold rise in char

    "Mr Tope, 57, global sales director of the Dreyfuss Group which includes Rotary watches, parks his Mercedes-E-class coupe in the car-park after his commute from Buckingham to his office in Regent Street said: ’I spoke to the lady at the car park and said there must be a mistake. She said the price had gone up because of the Olympics.

    It’s outrageous. It is exorbitant. It’s not as if you can get any more cars in. The overheads will be roughly the same. They’re simply hiking the price to boost profits during the Olympics.

    ‘Sometimes I do take the train. But I need the car in town because I often have to drive somewhere on business to see a client.’"
