They wouldn't need a tax cut if Blair hadn't whacked 50% on fuel tax the second he got his foot through the door. I couldn't give a shit about reducing it for 10 tiny towns. Reduce it for everyone (which the EU will have no issue with) and then we're talking.

I agree  Only make a slight difference to me tho' as I always top up in Kings Lynn on my way to work - it's 5p a litre cheaper there than here. Edit - after reading the list of places affected I've discovered it will make fuck all difference to me anyway  |

Meaning a few rich arseholes in big houses in the country. not really mate however, i wish there was some sort of law or regulator that said esso, tesco or any petrol company had to charge the same price in all their forecourts a tin of beans costs the same in all tescos there is around a 5p difference on diesel in market drayton and shrewsbury morrisons. why should the government lose out on tax (the amount of tax being a separate issue) as opposed to morrisons making extra money in a small town which is hardly remote |

Don't the cheaper brands attract more moisture? Something along those lines anyway |

All the big retailers use price banding for goods and services. They may keep some of the headline items at a fixed rate, but they vary other prices to match what the market will pay or to reflect higher rents or transportation costs. I used to work for a company that had four price bands, but they did things differently as they charged less in poorer areas than they did in West London etc. Single rate pricing is a bit too pinko for my liking, even if it can be unfair. I agree with the earlier poster, just drop the rate of fuel tax for everyone. |

Something along those lines anyway Tesco and Morrisons aren't drilling for the stuff  They all buy the same stuff from the producers, the small difference in quality is down to what detergents etc are put in at the final stages of production, which makes bugger all difference to the price. The supermarket fuels are cheaper because they're banking on you buying a weeks worth of groceries whilst you're there. |

A RAC guy told me supermarket fuel is shite(something to do with additives) thats why its cheaper. This was after he confirmed water in the fuel filter. I only use BP now. |

The additives (detergents etc) are different, the gasoline itself is identical though. Shell tend to have the best mixtures. |
