As Car Prices Fall Petrol Prices Increase
A few months ago everyone strongly believed that fuel costs could at last have been getting to a more stable level, I mean a litre of fuel dropped to as low as 90 pence, but things seem to be taking a slide once again as we see prices increase to over the pound mark.
It seems really odd to me personally, simply because of the fact that the car industry have been suffering somewhat and they have now seen a rescue package in the form of the scrappage scheme. This is simply where the government give you £1000 for new cars and the manufacturers give you another £1000, so in total you get £2000 towards a new car if your vehicle is older than a decade.
It make you undecisive about whether or not the increase in fuel costs were planned to cover for the money spent on the scrappage scheme. I mean everyone knows that no one gives money away for free, so there must be something more to this.
In other ways the government could be getting their money back from the increase in tax fuel prices. We are in a huge economic downturn, the prices should really be super low, but they are the opposite.
Although the authorities have said that they are doing this to help save the environment, that saying could in fact be true, but I in no way see them losing cash to save the planet becaouse that is just not the way that things seem to work in the world.
So summing up if you are looking to get a new vehicle then I would go for one that is a lot more economical to save you money on fuel.
Do you want to Buy a Citroen or Buy a Nissan
