The chancellor looks to be on a collision course with motoring groups after he failed to drop plans to introduce a 3p a litre petrol price increase set to hit forecourts in August.

3p per litre equates to 13.5p for 4.5 litres or approx 1 gallon (4.54 lits).

Close enough approximation ;)

what about the VAT - haven't you forgotten that ?

3p per litre = 13.65 per gallon

3p + VAT = almost 20p per gallon

that's tax for you
