According to...

the Mail British motorists are "overcharged by £1" every time they fill up.

Surely not. Do you mean to say that oil companies have learned a lesson from the tax man and recognised that the motorist is a cash cow?

Now let the Gorse Fox spell this out again:

• 50 litres of petrol costs, at present, £57.95
• Of this, £24.15 goes to the oil companies and the petrol station
• and £33.80 goes to the tax man

So who is it that is ripping-off the motorist?
