[quote][i]Originally posted by Colin[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by mattk[/i] Its the staggering amount of tax that pisses me off, and the HUGE profits oil companys make, Greed is the single biggest thing that pisses me off Its all greed [/quote] To be fair oil companies can just about justify the huge profits they make, oil exploration costs them billions in operational costs every year, for one single installation your talking milions, they can spend millions carrying out surveys, open a well & find it to shortfall on productivity loosing them millions, over 80% of the money shell/bp turn out goes towards running the show not a huge profit on the grand scale, without them you wouldnt be able to run a car at all, I think the huge profits are pretty sizeable for the scale of operation they run. Government on the other hand take 65p from ever £1 of fuel sold in this country in tax & dont really have any involvement asides taking the backhander & no one can see where its going, certainly not into improving the roads network. Traffic lights, streetlights, roads etc as mentioned above by someone comes off a budget levied from the council tax we pay....apparently. Where does all the billions from our fuel tax go:boggle: [Edited on 04-03-2008 by Colin] [/quote]
