1p per litre, not enough I'm afraid 

should be 31p a litre

But better than a kick in the Testicles

I'd rather they kept their 1p and let me kick Gordon Brown in the nuts!

They don't need the 1p for you to do that

i think every garage has increased today by 1p, so that it makes no difference come 6pm

the people that make these decisions dont know what its like to work properly just to keep a roof over our heads

all i'm doing is working to pay the bills. Having evaluated my situation over the last few weeks, i cant physically afford to have a life, all i'm doing is living to work

thanks a f****** bunch government, you'll be the death of me

[Terbs]

With the personal allowances going up we shall all be 90p better off a week, add that to the fuel decrease and ...BINGO....we are all rich

Where the hell do these politicians come from

Was there any increase in the tax? Believe the 3/3.2 post march '01 was in a temporary band until today?

just an inflation rise I believe,dunno how much though :-/

edit ,seems that a post 2001 mig 3.2 will go from £245 to £260 a year

Fully understand your burning desire to bruise the Browner's knackers, but not sure he had much to do with todays events....

surely you didnt expect it to be more

[Taxi_Driver]

i guarantee you it won't budge the price, of course increase it by a penny or two and the signs are changed before the chancellors sat down 

Correct.....i went  past a couple of garages on the way home....after 6pm....still at same price they were this morning......just a 1p profit increase for the garage owners 

I chucked in another £40 worth at 139.9 

That'll last me maybe until tomorrow evening, just  :-/

It could have been more if the reduction in government income due to the fuel price reduction was offset by increasing the taxation on the oil companys that are doing very well at the moment due to the high price of crude oil

Id rather be saving a penny than be paying a penny more but as said just not enough.

Note though the levy on North Sea oil companies is going up from 20% to 30% 8-) 8-) Around £2 billion per year each apparently:y

that wouldn't have worked.
knock 20p per litre off the tax, then tax the oil companies to make up the difference.
so the oil companies put petrol up by 25p/l to cover the extra cost.
oil company makes more money. we pay more.
