Increase in alcohol?

[Buckman]

I never realised that the increase on alcohol also applied to any alcohol in fuel? Just been to top up and cost of diesel has risen by 4p a litre so not £1.50! Cost of unleaded has also increased.

Strangely the cost of a bottle of the Tesco whisky is the same today as what it was last week? Sadly the cost of my favourite, a 4 pack of Guinness zero has also gone up by £0.25 although it is alcohol free!

Around us fuels went up prior to the introduction of this lates alcohol duty increase. It was due to the global price of oil increasing plus a reduction in the value of the pound against the dollar .

Better stop looking for Cleveland Discol outlets. 😂

Where did you get the information that the increase in alcohol duty will also affect fuel. HMG website says nothing about fuels it’s all about alcohol for consumption. Is it a Buckman “Soviet Herring”

Alcohol Duty: rate changes

Sorry thought you would have picked up the bit of TIC sarcasm on the cost of fuel.
