it wouldn't surprise if the Government sneakily hiked up the fuel duty whilst being buried by the falling price of fuel... However, with it being an election year, it would be suicide to do this i reckon.
i remember when fuel rocketed past the £1 mark a few years ago and every man and his dog added surcharges and stuff due to to the rising cost of fuel.... I wonder if they are just as quick to reduce their charges now that fuel has come back down??
The public (as well as many professional sectors) are quick to vilify the petrol companies for increasing the cost of fuel at the pump but at the moment, its only the petrol companies that are slashing prices.... funny that.
