Budget scandal

Wednesday, 15 October 2008 09:13 by Mark

This is our outraged face.

  • Duty on petrol to rise by 8 cents a litre from midnight
  • For cars with engines over 2.5 litres and in CO2 bands E, F and G, motor tax is to rise 5%
  • Motor tax up 4% for engines below the 2.5 litre threshold and CO2 bands A to D
  • Levy of €200 on employees for car parking in major urban areas

As if things weren't bad enough for us poor motorists.

However all is not lost, we have a money saving tip for you.

Separate Your Two Ply Toilet Paper. The trick is to have empty toilet paper rolls to split the 2 ply onto. The process should go significantly faster by putting the 2 ply roll onto the toilet paper holder and winding each ply onto the empty cardboard rolls, which have a stick or pencil through it to make it easy to roll.

Eddie Hobbs eat your heart out…

Fuel sanity

Friday, 10 October 2008 06:40 by Mark

Praise the Lord!! Some good news at last on fuel prices as the Indo reports that new laws may be on the way to put a cap on the price of fuel. Petrol stations are to be issued with a maximum price option which should stop the ridiculous prices being charged by some of the stations around the country. Of course you can always seek out good fuel value at this consumer website http://www.pumps.ie/
