Well ha-de-fucking-ha.
Petrol is 7p a litre here. But the a problem with low taxation on petol/diesel is that the Gov doesn't have much money to spend on stuff like schools, road repairs and that. Consequently much stuff here is really shit.
Pay your tax and be happy that you have got all the nice stuff as well.

I'm not saying our high taxation on fuel is wrong
God knows I'd like it to be lower... but I hate the "Pay as you go" argument as something that is supposed to be different to what we have right now.
If you drive a bigger more polluting car, you pay more (because you use more fuel). If you drive long distances, you pay more (because you use more fuel). If you drive an economic car, you pay less (because you use less fuel). If you drive short distances, you pay less (because you use less fuel). We already have a fair fuel taxation (it's just high).
