Taxed nearly £150 on my wages and nearly £100 on fuel ffs just as well give all my cash to gordon brown and he can give me pocket money.

Drboobfondler

and they would still want more !!!

shooter007

if gordon brown thinks that by taxing us to the hilt he will stop us using our pride and joys he,s not on this planet but which lazey usless bas**** (politician) is

gotmashed

we pay £1.059 for super and only one garage sells it and it runs out for a few days every two weeks

Shark Man

That's what he wants...us to carry on using cars. It's just a lame excuse to justify the taxation.

classic scooby doo

i have just worked out i spent £10,000 in the last 18 months on fuel for scoob. Considering the car was £10,000 to buy its quite laughable really. Oh well i still love it and wont be getting rid of it anytime soon.

In some countries NUL is below 95 RON. On a global perspective 95 RON is considered a SUL grade of petrol and hence the sticker. The car will run forever without problem on 95RON.

I do love the Tescos 99 Octane... no other petrol station does 99 and I notice a definate difference... bloody well should do at just over a quid a squirt!

Shark Man

That's the exact point I've tried to tell people in all thsese petrol threads who keep saying "but the flap says Super Unleaded Gasoline".

sparky300

you paid tax on your fuel 70ish%, then to take the **** just a little more, they charge you another 17.5% of vat when you pay, but think about that for a while they dont charge you vat on just the fuel, they charge you vat on the fuel + the tax amount thats on that fuel. so you are paying tax on top of tax!!!

its a nice little money maker charging 17.5% for tax they put on there, its not like tax is a service and/or goods lol

tony95

don't forget that about 25% of your wages has already been deducted in tax+ni
out of my wage(about 30k inc overtime)taxman ends up with just over 14k of it

nik52wrx

My flap says 98 Ron.

its disgusting how you just see "tax" on your wage slips. at least national insurance is going towards hospitals etc, and you know the use. really all this "tax" just goes towards filling up gordon brown and tony blaires cars... not too mention john prescott 100 metre sprints. its over 25% of your wages now if your on a decent wack. i get taxed/national insurance more than
£5k a year. that would pay my mortgage every month for a year!

but you do see all the politicians in there nice v8 mercs and jags, with huge fuel economy benifits. send them all about in some nice kias or daewoos for a year, see if they like having to be driven in small cars, like theyre trying to make us do. (not incinuating a scoobs a small car).

three words...

waste of space!

Shark Man

Well good for you, Mine doesn't

I find it quite amusing when people who drive cars that require 98+ ron and do low 20's to the gallon moan about the price of fuel. Running costs should be factored into any decision as to whether to buy a car or not, or sell it even. One of the reasons I left the Impreza marque after 8 years was the high fuel cost. I realised that I was paying a massive premium for image alone, as 99% of the time you could get from A-B just as fast in any other car due to congestion and traffic calming etc.

Car of the moment is a gt tdi 130 golf that's just done 300 miles on half a tank 96p a litre too, £44 fill up. . 2k rpm at 80 mph

i can see where your at mate, but even if i was driving a 1.2 corsa of something like that, it would still cost me a helluva lot more to run than say 10 years ago. that the point people on here are making. so because the price of fuel has shot up it basically means buying a diesel to keep costs down. why should we be forced into that, when petrol prices could and should be much fairer.

the image thing is correct as a-b times are the same, but that should be our choice for owning a scoob and petrol/ deisel prices should be fair no matter what car you drive. im sure the chavs in their rust buckets would say the same "innit dat these price$ r totlly wack".

it shouldnt be the car you drive thats the problem here, the cost of fuel is. driving a scoob makes no difference to me. 10 years ago my wrx was doing 20-25mpg it still is, but the petrol i put in it is at an unfair/extrortionate cost.

i am bored with these petrol threads TBH

if you can not fill up your scoby without wingeing about the price, might be time to buy something a bit more sensible

chocolate_o_brian

im just moaning at the price of fuel not the running costs etc of my scoob. i like putting petrol in her, round £30 a week gets me 160-170 miles i think, which is enough, but the fuel has gone up 7p a litre in a week, and its just a joke. id rather starve then give up my silver beast lol.

from the duty and tax/v.a.t. side of it though it is ridiculous as the roads never get any better, and the government just waste the tax they get off us lot. but i suppose if your in a £50000 rep or amnagers job your laughing right? (thats not a stab at anyone on here btw)

StickyMicky

people have moaned about the cost of filling there scoobs up since i joined this forum

chocolate_o_brian

iTrader: (22)

im sure plenty of chav *ahem cough* saxo forums say the same evn if they only take £20 to fill up lol. i wouldnt know i jumped the "normal" ship 4 months ago.

C2forWRX

whats happend to the boro centre shell? was in pieces when i last saw it

MickeyWRX

mines a MY05 WRX PPP should be run on 97Ron to get the best out of it but i aint paying £1.03 just have to have another fuel crisis sorry!

MickeyWRX

Its not that I cant afford it,its just id rather be spending it on things, like a new plasma tv or on my son for examole not giving it to new liars so they can **** it all away on welfare for those who cant be arsed to work and their dolden plated pension schemes.
I would not begrudge the extra tax if it was going on roads,but you only need take one look around here to see it isnt

I remember when I 1st got a scoob , optimax was 81p a litre and I still moaned even then

Rabid

You have to drive a piece of **** MKIV Golf though, I'd rather pay through the nose and have some self respect (and I don't drive a fecking Impreza before you start)

scoobynutta555

Well you're an idiot then. I have loads of self respect and don't have to rely on a car's image to prove myself. I don't HAVE to drive a golf tdi, I choose to.

the irony
