yep. though its good if your in a job that you can claim back expenses for miles travelled, though even that rarely equates to what your actually spending :banghead:
Maybe you can explain why you car only gives you 22 miles per gallon?
i also dont drive in the most economical way and travelling to work everyday involves stopping/starting at numerous sets of lights and roundabouts and also sitting in a queue.
nice
So thats where they get the money from to pay for those ipods and school trips for the scrags in school who pretend to behave, just to get free stuff!
is the transport infrastructure really bad in the US or other countries then?
they do alright with less tax so why cna't we?
Actually it's woeful in America. Europe has such a good system because we tax highly.
270 miles a week on a bus! 27 miles each way every day!
- you must have the patience of a saint!
I live west of durham, and travel to stockton
Unless you have figures that show how much money is generated by Fuel Tax + Road Tax + Insurance Tax on Car Insurance
and also have the same figures for how much is spent on the so called transport infrastructure then you shouldn't make such sweeping statements.
If you have those figure then do post a link to them cos I'd love to see them.
Roll on July (even though I don't even drive!)
or i get a lift if im not in a walking mood
but Sikorah you drive a sexyy car
Anyway, public transport is a bit crappy when you live a little outside of the town/city. I wouldnt have the patience for it either. I use the train once a week to go Liverpool but thats it.
And theres no way the tax on fuel is justified.
...in your opinion
Yeah - just at the time the Government is cutting railway subsidy and letting the passengers pay the extra............
Well if you drive a powerful thirsty car like a pillock then you can't complain about petrol prices.
Mine costs £35 to fill up and does 300 miles.
You are presuming un-economically=driving like a pillock.
I think petrol tax is too high but the real robbers are Shell, BP and the rest. They always have been.
I'd love a powerful car and the money to run it, mind...
my weekly bus pass costs me £9.50
and i travel around 70 miles a week, 4 buses a day
So there wasnt really much need for
except for the opportunity to basically say 'serve you right' which i think is a bit sad.
anyway,it might be daft in your opinion but not mine.
Still, fuel taxes are daylight robbery. We pay more than any other country between that and road tax dont we??
Driving a car that uses a lot of fuel, and driving it in a fuel-hungry way, does mean that you can't complain about how high your fuel bills are. You bought a fuel-hungry car and enjoy it. Things cost money.
I drive a very economical car because I don't have money.
