Another thing is, if you put the tax on fuel instead of road tax, the cost of living would soar because haulage companies would pass the cost on to whoever they supply and they would pass the cost onto their customers namely you.

Tesco, Asda, Morrisons etc that usually supply their own supermarkets, petrol stations would also pass the cost onto their customers again you.


I can't see that leading to a 'soar' in the cost of living. Transport companies routinely pass on increased fuel costs to their customers, has it ever been any different?
