執行緒： 燃料黃金

將政府推出燃油稅每升 3 p 一月份嗎?並將它實際上在現實世界中，在您當地的泵嗎?影子大臣埃德 • 鮑爾斯目前正在盡可能多地隨著他可以從競選錯誤的時間，錯誤的地點關於政府提出 3 p 一公升上升燃油稅接下來 1 月。
他非常清楚，當然，他都推在一個敞開的門上而言我們其餘的人都是 — — 因為沒有人願意支付更多的燃料在這時刻，即使意識到，我們可能奪走彼得支付 Paul 長遠來看。
但這是一件事;這其實沒關係政府提出義務對燃料的升 3 便士的時你可以保存四倍如果你準備要貨比三家嗎?
如果你是庚型肝炎病毒驅動程式，或更重要的是牽引公司發給每一英里是至關重要的答案是很清楚。它很重要。你只是不能重載 rig M1 和入當地廉價車庫裡找出較低的價格燃料，畢竟。
但你是一個汽車司機，其不同。這周我填充捷豹 XK RS，我足夠幸運，有兩次借給了一會兒。在兩個場合，低警告燈已經點，這意味著還有大約一加侖留在坦克，所以 60 升的空間。
第一次填充我沒有在我當地的汽車修理廠成本 77。45 在 1。31 升;第二個是 m1 和成本 86。在 1 94。45 升。
在這兩種情況下，這給了我大約 250 英里的範圍。(我知道，我知道; 這輛車的燃料消耗是荒謬的一系列這樣的在這個時代是荒謬。但在這種情況下，真的不是重點)。是什麼，是燃料的我不得不支付近八十塊錢更多的相同數量，只是燃料的因為我填錯了地方，汽車在錯誤的時間。
了我想了一下，想了個辦法避免機動車路填充 （通過確保罐被裝滿的更便宜，當地燃料時我出發了，舉個例子） 我可以節省 14 便士一升。
超過 25000 英里的速度 — — 大約年的價值驅動在我的世界 — — Id 保存整個 '砂袋' 只是靠當地的 XK RS。所以儘管它可能看起來有點挑剔，找出最便宜的燃料，在一輛汽車，並 18 英里/加侖，哪些費用 105 k 放在第一位，我不在乎。因為任何人快樂的人揮手告別到相對容易的 1000年年如今沒有他們的頭擰相當正確。

Will the government put fuel duty up by 3p a litre in January? And will it actually matter in the real world, at your local pump?The shadow chancellor Ed Balls is currently making as much ground as he can out of his 'wrong time, wrong place' campaign regarding the governments proposed 3p-a-litre rise in fuel duty next January.
He knows full well, of course, that hes pushing on an open door as far as the rest of us are concerned – because no one WANTS to pay more for their fuel at this moment in time, even if were aware that we may be robbing Peter to pay Paul in the long run.
But heres a thing; does it actually matter if the government puts the duty on fuel up by 3p a litre when you can save four times that if youre prepared to shop around?
If youre an HGV driver, or more to the point a haulage company to whom every mile is critical, the answer is very clearly a yes. It matters. You cant just haul your rig off the M1 and into the local cheap garage to seek out lower priced fuel, after all.
But of youre a car driver, its different. This week Ive filled the Jaguar XK RS that Im lucky enough to have been lent for a while twice. On both occasions the low warning light had come on, which meant there was about a gallon left in the tank, so 60 litres of space.
The first fill I did at my local garage cost 77. 45 at 1. 31 a litre; the second was on the M1 and cost 86. 94 at 1. 45 a litre.
In both cases, that gave me a range of around 250 miles. (I know, I know; the fuel consumption of the car is ridiculous and a range like that is absurd in this day and age. But in this case thats not really the point). What is, is that I had to pay nearly a tenner more for same amount of fuel, just because I filled the car in the wrong place, at the wrong time.
Had I thought about it and worked out a way of avoiding a motorway fill (by making sure the tank was full of cheaper, local fuel when I set off, for instance) I could have saved 14p a litre.
Over 25,000 miles – which is approximately a years worth of driving in my world – Id save an entire 'bag of sand' merely by going local in the XK RS. So although it might seem a touch pernickety, seeking out the cheapest fuel in a car that does 18mpg and which costs 105k in the first place, I dont care. Because anyone whos happy to wave goodbye to a relatively easy 1000 a year nowadays doesnt have their head screwed on quite right.
