How much are you paying for petrol?

Fuel prices are up again – with reports saying one filling station in Chelsea is charging an amazing 134p for a litre of petrol.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown has blamed oil producers for not increasing supply, causing oil prices to rise.

But the price can’t purely be blamed on the rocketing prices of crude oil.

In the UK, after including the duty and VAT paid on a litre of fuel, tax makes up more than 60 per cent of the cost.

Car makers are making the vehicles they sell more efficient, but this doesn’t help people who rely on their cars but can’t afford a new, clean machine.

Are these prices tempting you away from your car and onto the bus or mountain bike? 

So how much are you paying for a litre of diesel or unleaded? And where did you buy it?
