A fuel and his money...
The average price of petrol is now around £1.20 a litre for unleaded, and almost £1.35 for diesel.
A year ago they were both several pennies under a pound.
The government has just announced it's going to delay the introduction of a tuppence increase in fuel duty that was to have come into effect in October - to "help motorists and businesses get through what is a difficult time for everyone".
So now my tank and yours will cost a paltry £74 to fill up instead of an exhorbitant £75. Could someone explain to me how politics works, please? I just don't get it....
It's not logical. Politics can't solve anything, they just patch up problems by making new laws in the hope that someday inventions will truely overcome the problem.
