the obscene amount of duty which that corrupt shower of incompetents in government stick on the fuel - and good on 'em, says I.
Far dos, but the amount of duty that you pay on your avgas is less than what you pay for the fuel in your car.
Unleaded 51.52 pence per litre
Diesel 54.68 pence per litre
Avgas 28.84 pence per litre
Are you perhaps advocating that we should pay more on avgas to help the truckers?
One thing I will say is that it is (or should be) now clear that the current high fuel cost has shown the fallacy in the argument that high taxation will reduce demand and is thus "green"
Don't know why you think it a fallacy. In my case it caused me to go from driving a 2 litre petrol car doing 33 mpg to a diesel one doing 46 mpg on average, and I certainly wouldn't go back to the old VW Camper I used to have that did around 24 mpg.
