TAX

[gsc1ugs]

Just a point to make for those in tht UK. The price of pertrol is getting out of hand, 85% tax the robbing bas*****.

Make a fuss, email your local MP, we have the most expesive fuel in the developed world and its getting way out of hand.

Just think of it 85% F****** TAX.

This of couse is a VB question written in some code that I am unaware of I see...

When in doubt, but it in a module Sub

Public Sub DecodeCrap(gsc1ugs as String)

    Dim LoopCounter As Long
    
    For LoopCounter = 1 to Len(gsc1ugs)
        Mid(gsc1ugs, LoopCounter, 1) = Chr(32)
    Next

 
End Sub

I'm bored, ask a real question

[Mark Sreeves]

this ought to be in the Chit chat forum!

but yes!

I get totally P****D off with being ripped off for everything here in UK.

The government are a bunch of W*****S as well!
(I just thought I'd add that!)

[Paul282]

You wanna see high prices? come over here!

Ohhhh, you mean you DON'T what to see them...



Is this a whinge or a gripe?

[gfk]

Isn't petrol in the US about 19p/litre?

I say we get a consortium together and import it.

[gsc1ugs]

An example of the rip off going on..
In America, a $10 fill up will cost you $36 dollars over here.. now thats a f'ing rip-off. Great Britain, great rip-off more like..

[Paul282]

Litre gas here is about 95yen
US$1 -> 105yen

so US$0.90 or there about

I don't know what conversion ratios to use, but I do know that to fill up my Club Wagon (cush, seven passenger van with a 32 gallon tank) it is costing me $50. Maybe I don't want to know what it would cost there! If you want to convert it, we are at about $1.53 for a gallon of 89 octane.

[gsc1ugs]

Well, you asked $188.48 dollars to fill the same tank here.
If the UK people dont complain, it wont come down..

A really p***** person.

In Canada, it's going to raise 85/L in September.

[HeSaidJoe]

Gas 'N' Oil ..find that stock..buy it..it's going up
and never coming down!

Governments are bullies but look at some 3rd World countries and their excuse for government and then you can see what real bullies are all about.

[gsc1ugs]

For those of you in the states, how much tax is on fuel.. ?Many thanks

I walk to work now (used to drive for 15 years), don't care about the price of petrol in the UK anymore (I'm in the UK).

BTW, USA is the most wasteful & polluting country in the world because energy is so cheap. Just desserts say that the ozone should open up right over it.

[gsc1ugs]

Supposed to walk 30 mile am I??

[frank ashley]

gsc1ugs,

get i life, what can u mean.

I was lucky, got a local job (for local people) after years and years of being stuck on the north circular. I can remember calculating pay rises vs cost of petrol increases, never again.
