Fuel of surprises

The average British motorist really doesn't have it easy when it comes to buying and running a car. Buying a car in the UK costs significantly more than buying one in the rest of Europe. We can pay hundreds of pounds a year in road tax. We even have to pay to renew our photo diving license every ten years. To say being a motorist is expensive is an understatement.

However, the points mentioned above are by no means the end of our expense. Possibly the biggest annoyance for the average motorist is fuel costs. British motorists pay well over one pound for every one litre of fuel. When you consider the fact that Venezuela motorists pay less than one penny a litre, then you can easily understand why British motorists are frustrated.

One reason that fuel prices are currently so high is because of taxation. The government generates income through fuel tax, but they do this for several good reasons. Firstly, they want to encourage more people to take public transport and thus reduce pollution and traffic jams. Secondly, they tax fuel because oil is a finite material and they can't afford for people to waste it. Thirdly, they tax fuel because it is a demerit good, this means that its usage has negative impacts on society and the environment. This third reason applies to other goods that the government taxes such as cigarettes and alcohol.

If you're looking to sell your car, people may be put off by the fuel costs of running it. You may think that when fuel prices are high, it is the wrong time to sell your car. Fortunately, at Sell Car UK, we buy nearly all makes and models of car regardless of how economical they are. We give you cash for cars which allows you to buy a car which is more economical and will therefore result in lower fuel bills for you.
