A lot of money might go to the government, but the government needs a lot to help pay for the benefits of lazy gits who sit on their ass all day pretending to be unfit to work. One thing people need to fully realise is, the British Government is going bankrupt, they have too many outgoing and not enough ingoings. Spongers are bleeding the system dry.
Now if the government came up with a scheme of not paying benefits to those who can work so the lazy sods get off their ass, work and pay their own taxes...and stick to it, then they wouldn't need so much money in their coffers and therefor wouldn't need to keep raising the tax on fuel.
