A two pence rise in fuel duty will come into effect from midnight, the third increase in nine months. |

They have to put it on it's the law - I think they are taking the hit themselves until the 6th. |

Would happen just as we are about to go away on holiday probably by car so it will add to the holiday costs. |

Be fair, Bob, Tesco's run this offer frequently. We often make use of it. |

It will push the inflation rate up as virtually all goods get to the shops by road (no railway line down our high street). |

Interestingly, the revenue from Tobacco tax remains just about constant year on year and has done for the past decade. That's why each year it rises by a rather odd amount - it is calculated to exactly make up for the loss due to reduced consumption. |

This government has a death wish, intent on destroying itself. For the past year it has done nothing but back the wrong horse. |

It would make more sense to cut the duty on diesel to the French level. |

Well this rise actually did me a favour cos one of my arguments against going on holiday in this country and driving to Kent or Sussex, sightseeing and then driving home, was the added increase in petrol costs as well as the price of the apartment. |
