Hamster Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I use a site called fuelly.com to track my car. Opened my eyes to just how much I spend a month, £350 on fuel!!!!!! Allow me to ruin your day a touch more, it's £350 quid of already taxed money ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aris Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Allow me to ruin your day a touch more, it's £350 quid of already taxed money ! It is worse than that. The wholesale price of fuel has Fuel Excise Duty added to it (a tax). Then at the pump you pay VAT on the lot. So essentially you are paying tax on tax. Couldn't make it up!

Mungler Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 On the wife's Mazda 5 diesel 1.6 TD we did Exeter and back for £65 which is about 450 miles. That was with wife, kids and bags and so was pretty thrifty. My car, I take no notice, I just fill it up when the light comes on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisheruk Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 It is worse than that. The wholesale price of fuel has Fuel Excise Duty added to it (a tax). Then at the pump you pay VAT on the lot. So essentially you are paying tax on tax. Couldn't make it up! But register for VAT and get the lot back.
