Turvey Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Minimum wage of $20 a MONTH kinda makes up for it though http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-03-06/monthly-salary-of-20-shows-why-venezuelans-wait-in-food-lines 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil 87 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 It would be interesting to see the same graph but prices before tax, but that would be much more difficult to work out for that many countries. Isn't tax the main thing that makes our fuel prices so high? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebowhite Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 now I just saw the list ?!?!?!? we are fourth from the bottom!!! the only people more expensive than us are Hong Kong who have decent electric systems for their electric cars, and decent mileage, the norwegians who spend billions on it clearing through customs and have about one petrol station for the whole bleedin country and the Netherlands who are safe to say the only country more greedy than our scabby parliamentarians with a car the size of my house, and a bleedin fuel expenses claim that rivals most landlords in London. I knew I shouldnt have read that article, this freakin government with their brooms up my ........................... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marks12 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Could be worse governments suck and need to thrown out especially the crooked Irish ones they make us pay for water 3 times one comes from the universal social charge taking from every persons pay package each week 2 is motor tax ( yeah a tax that should be spent on the roads but most goes on water) and then the last one the domestic water charge which will be like a bill coming in the door 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Does anyone know how the tax on our fuel is actually spent? If it's spent on maintaining roads or benefits drivers in some other way then it's not as bad as it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I dont even bother looking at what price the fuel is anymore but i only do 3000 miles a year. I do the shopping and then fill up while im at Asda. Its not like we can haggle for a discount so i just fill up, pay and drive away! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
