So, the fuel price is calculated (roughly speaking) as the actual price, then the duty, then the VAT (yes, that’s right folks, you pay tax on the tax!). So let’s take the VAT off that price. 102.8p OK, each litre of diesel has 54.68p duty on it. Let’s get that off as well. 48.2p That’s

Ok, so a couple of weeks ago, some unscrupulous ‘tard nicked a couple of hundred quid out of our bank account and blew it in an online casino. Which leaves us to do all the legwork making and chasing a fraud claim – frankly, it’s a pain in the neck. Well, it just so happens
