[Supermarket giant Asda has warned
that some petrol pumps across its network
of forecourts are suffering from
"temporary shortages".
Allan Leighton, executive chairman of Asda,
has warned that the conflict in the
Middle East has contributed to
fuel shortages at forecourts across the UK.

He reported that the supermarket had seen
a huge spike in motorists looking to fill up
over the last four weeks as petrol
and diesel prices continue to soar.

The latest data from RAC Fuel Watch shows
that petrol prices have finally jumped above
150p per litre on average.]

⛽ Next time you hear the Government blame the prices on overseas crisis, think of this 👇🏼

No tax/VAT: 📉

Unleaded 67.0p/litre
Diesel 86.1p/litre

Full pump price: 📈

Unleaded 143.9p/litre
Diesel 166.8p/litre

Govt takes ~77p petrol / ~81p diesel per litre (fuel duty 52.95p + 20% VAT).

Over half your fill-up is tax 💸

Yeah they could easily reduce the impact on people, that useless Cobra meeting the other day was just a jolly for them, they are still going ahead with further fuel duty in September, but hey guys you are getting 150 off your bill energy bill in April although it is actually 117 be grateful for the crumbs plebs
