As of January 2012 the fuel duty rates are:

  • Unleaded - 58p/litre
  • Diesel - 58p/litre
  • LPG - 31.6p/kg

At the moment these are due to increase in August 2012 to:

  • Unleaded - 61p/litre
  • Diesel - 61p/litre
  • LPG - 37.3p/kg

However this is subject to change, and infact the government recently delayed the planned hike in fuel duty as the August 2012 rates were originally due to come in to effect on 1st January 2012. Hopefully the government will decide to delay this even further, but I wouldn't hold your breath....

What do YOU think of fuel duty rates? Is it a welcome green tax, or just another government rip-off???
