It would entail a 4 mile round trip, using 0.4 litres of fuel, costing about 42p. If the pump price is later hiked by 4p, I would save 24p compared with waiting until later, so refuelling in earnest would still cost me 18p in fuel. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18735#post-280153 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 14:40:19 +0000 neddie 280153@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Lost fuel duty could cover 9.2% of UK roads with segregated cycle paths</em></p> <p><a href="https://cyclingindustry.news/editors-comment-lost-fuel-duty-could-cover-9-2-of-uk-roads-with-segregated-cycle-paths/" rel="nofollow">https://cyclingindustry.news/editors-comment-lost-fuel-duty-could-cover-9-2-of-uk-roads-with-segregated-cycle-paths/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18735#post-280150 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 14:02:58 +0000 Klaxon 280150@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I wonder how many people will drive (at a cost of about 20p/mile) to a petrol station specifically to fill up today, all in order to save about 50p on a tank. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18735#post-280142 Fri, 13 Apr 2018 11:06:11 +0000 chdot 280142@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“</p> <p>Fuel duty has now been frozen for the longest period in 40 years, at a total cost to the Exchequer of £46bn since 2010.
