Gordon Brown has said the delayed 2p rise in fuel duty is something that will be looked at "very, very carefully" over the next few weeks.Well, big deal! As oil has risen to $146 a barrel, the increases in the price of petrol already in the pipeline [sorry about that] will dwarf 2p per litre.
Look, I know it's hard but we have to face the fact that the cost of fuel has undergone a step increase. Economic and social life will change in ways which are uncharted. This kind of thing is only the beginning.

Why does fuel tax rise? Supposedly to make it more expensive, so the govt claims. So since it's getting more expensive by itself, no need for more tax.
Right?
