Fuel duty to rise from midnight
fill your tanks up and have a pint on the taxman
When VAT is included, the increase will actually total 2.3p per litre

Looks like the Tesco filling station on the East Lancs Road has already added the increase this morning so it's up to 105.9p now"Never keep up with the Joneses. Drag'em down to your level. It's cheaper".
