THE rising price of petrol and diesel is a national disgrace and the blame has to fall on the Government for the extortionate tax added.

Oil companies and fuel retailers have many expenses to get fuel to the pumps while the Government reaps the high rewards from the tax scandal.

The price of fuel affects everything and forces up the cost of living.

I believe every pump at all filling stations throughout the land should show how much tax is collected on every litre and it should be shown in bold figures for all to see how the cost of state greed hits the public.
