Fuel panic, again!!
Icedog 23 April 2005 00:18:23
	The Fuel Lobby are to call for blockades on 3/5. So everyone goes out and panic buys, giving the Gov't more money- a self-fulfilling foot shooter methinks. Tony.

AFAICS, they will be giving New Labour some jolly bad publicity just before the election, and also some advance money to the tax pot for whoever wins the election to use on our behalf, which might not be New Labour (I hope it isn't, but I'm stymied as to who ought to be in their place).

Many purchasers don't use the fuel immediately, just panic and squabble and store excess amounts all over the place in illegal receptacles. It matters not to me as I fill up once a month, but some will be sorely vexed.

	i think what he is trying to say is that a LOT more people will buy a lot of fuel in a short space of time and some even if they dont particularly need it, but just because they panic and think the world is going to run dry of petrol... its kinda like getting your whole years salary in one month.... BUT also then after this when the obvious happens and petrol doesnt run out, everyone continues to buy petrol normally, so the government has received an extra boost of tax income due to the panic buyin, which imo is excatly what was being said in the opening post,

Unless the extra is stored away somewhere (to be thrown away later when it oes off), all that will happen is that the peak caused by panic buying will be followed by a slight drop while all those people don't need to fill up as their tanks are full don't buy anything. The 'extra boost in tax income' will be followed by a compensatory drop in tax income, and it'll all average out to make no difference. (unless of course panic buying involves driving hundreds of miles to get fuel. Although this is obviously silly, I wouldn't put it past people...) cheers, clive

That doesn't make sense. If I normally buy petrol on a Friday and it lasts me for a week, goodo. Lets say I bought fuel last Friday and then today (Wednesday) a fuel protest starts, so I go out and buy fuel. Near as dammit half a tank. Then there's no fuel crisis. If I buy petrol on Friday I buy half a tank... If I don't buy fuel on Friday I'll need it by Wednesday... Net result? No extra fuel bought... No extra tax... -- The DervMan www.dervman.com
