We would call him an entrepreneur, I have never seen any government agency checking fuel tanks, I guess its because the price of the untaxed farm diesel is pretty close to road taxed fuel. 30-40 cents
More like 1 dollar 20 cents difference in the UK per litre,5-6 dollars per gallon.

Fuel prices have come down every day in July.
The difference in price between farm and road diesel is around 40cents per U.S. gallon which I believe is 3.78 litres. This will be made up of state and federal tax.

Roger how much is a US gallon (3.785 litres) of farm diesel there? We're paying around 60p per litre here or about $3.89 per US gallon.
Edit. Sorry just read your earlier post, reading from bottom up never a good idea. Are you saying your farm fuel is 30-40 cents per litre?

Took several thousand around June 20th, it was $3-19 then...........rough calc puts that at 49 pence.
Without checking I am guessing maybe 43-44p now.
Your red price is more than our road fuel..!

Yep comforting to know we're still paying 30% more than you guys for supposedly rebated fuel.
What's that crap that is spouted about the huge price differential "all being tax" the the petrochemicals feed us. Don't mention the cost of road fuel.

I think that people calling themselves farmers even when they approach a 100 is probably to do with inheritance tax.

Glad he was caught,but seven years?He could have stuck a knife in someone or killed someone drink driving and got less.We have surely got to get crimes into perspective.Human on human crime should come in for way harsher penalties than fiddling the exchequer.

Why does the Mafia make an example of someone who crosses them?
Because when you're running a racket you want your marks to pay up quietly without you having to do too much. You want voluntary compliance with your demands. So people who cross you get worse treatment than those who merely break the laws of society, pour encourager les autres.
Once you start regarding the State as the ultimate protection racket you see it for what it is, and begin to understand the need to avoid its tender ministrations as much as possible.

Surely it would be better to get rid of rebated fuel.
Just have a refund system where we send invoices in from registered fuel suppliers.

That's how it works in certain areas of Europe.
Was talking to a friend the other day in Germany and he said you cannot reclaim the rebate for everything such as AD haulage is not included as they class as non ag.
