So today I purchased some petrol for my car for the first time since half term, now that’s under four weeks ago…and the price seems to have gone nuts.

The cheapest I found in Peterborough was at my trusty (& ethical) sainsbury’s store where Unleaded was 99.9…why 2 weeks ago when I was there is was 95.9. The thing that bugs me though is that around 50% of our petrol price is tax…why the hell does 50% of it need to go to the goverment? greedy so and so’s!

I’d imagine money from that goes to maintaining our roads and building speed cameras…so here is my preposition…

Tax on petrol should be halved so that things like speed cameras are no longer paid for by that tax…why should the sensible drivers who don’t speed pay money to the muppets who do?

Yes I think speed cameras are often just a way for the goverment to earn money but by all means let them do that rather than stealing our money when we buy petrol.

Of course another reason for high petrol prices is so that we are encouraged to use public transport…however public transport is so damn expensive it’s still just as cheap to use a car!

Anyway rant of annoyance over…I need to sleep
