Petrol , Tax etc

[kujawski]

Anyone got any ideas :

1) how much does a litre cost wholesale,(ie: if an independant petrol station was buying from a supplier)
2) how much is paid in tax to government when sold onto customer.
3) how much profit does the garage make on average per litre.

[kempie]

If a litre of petrol costs �1.10, it comprises 50.35p in fuel duty and 16.38p in VAT.

The wholesale price of the fuel is about 40p. With transport costs of around 1.5p this leaving a profit of about 2p for the retailer.
