Fuel Tax

I don't plan to add any more special info on alternative fuels ... but it does seem to me that even at £5 a UK gallon, avgas is a very competitive buy. My local pub charges me £20 a gallon for its best beer!

But UK fuel tax is another thing. Our fuel would be incredible value if the tax were waived. (never of course) If I were a fuel retailer, my receipts would all read something like this.

Fuel. 10 gallons (45 lit) £15. 00p

But ........

Tax/vat please £35. 00p
______

I need. £50. 00p

That would make the consumer and the Government wake up!

Best wishes all,

Dennis K
