Price of Optimax

[dazza]

I just paid 104.9 :shock: i hadn't filled up for a few weeks due to getting a company car for work priorities (great havin all your car travel paid for ).The price of this stuff is getting stupid, just how far is it gonna go. :roll:
Still gonna keep putting it in though as i still feel the car benefits from it.

Sky is the limit, we will start to run out of natural resource availability at some point, just look at what Lexus are doing with their Hybrids, it's the way to go, and performance seems to be very good indeed.

If the US and UK would stop pandering to Israel and invading Middle Eastern countries, we might have a better chance of cheaper petrol...

at a tenner its only the same price as a chocolate milkshake? about a quid extra over normal petrol? whats all the fuss about, its the price in general?
98.9 is scandalus!!!! :roll:
its worth a quid for the perfomance we get isnt it? you dont have to put it in
in motor shops you can buy addatives, i found one for a 5er it does one full tank, works out about the same as using optimax exept it gives you full ron?

The price is kept artificially high in the UK by government taxation - 70% of what you pay at the pump is fuel duty.

 

[Suped]

ridiculous!!!! Its daylight robbery. Why can't the public groups put some serious amounts of pressure on the government to drop the tax and reduce their FAT CAT pay packets to offset the fuel duty??!!! In 10 years time, you can just picture all sorts of silly tax on the public.

Read in the local papers that fines would be issued if rubbish bags put out on the drive a day too early would incur a fine. What a load of crap!! Not only to the local authorities hardly ever come collect the rubbish whlist sponging off the tax payers but want to fine the tax payers also.

You will only have to pay tax elsewhere. You need to look at your total tax bill and compare it with other countries, then judge the state of their public services. If it wasn't on petrol, it would be higher income tax or NI or whatever.

I had the same discussion with people when the "petrol crisis" was on five and a half years ago. Admittedly, it would be better to cap the tax so that when prices rise above a predicted norm, the consumer isn't hit further, but you have to wonder if the treasury actually factor in such price spikes to balance their books...
