Over the last 10 years the ratios of Tax and petrol prices have stayed relatively proportional at around 65-70% Tax to cost.

Clearly with the cost of petrol increasing dramatically in 2008 to over 110p for a litre of unleaded petrol, the tax burden on the average driver in the UK is enormous with the clear winner in all of this being the Treasury coffers. Its is estimated that with the recent hike in global oil prices to nearly $110 a barrel as of March 2008, the chancellor's tax take will have increased by around £4 billion pounds!
