![]() Hi guys,
with the budget yesterday talking alot about fuel tax, I got thinking. I'm building my car strictly for track use only, I have no intention of putting it through IVA and registering it. So, is there a way, legally, that i can buy unleaded/super unleaded petrol for it without having to pay fuel duty? As it's never going on her Majesty's highways, it's not liable for fuel duty anyway. Why should I pay 120p per litre when before tax it's only 41p? Just wondering that's all.

![]() You just can't believe that before tax it is 41p and we pay 120p.
80p per litre is just unbelievable..... ![]()

![]() How about a diesel barge engine? Then you can run it on red and avoid the tax.

![]() almost makes me want to put a diesel engine in it, just so i can run it on red diesel and drive endless laps with one hand in the air with a middle finger extended to the taxman.
But no, I still think i'll stick with my 32v V8.

![]() HI.
I believe that petrol powered boats can get tax free petrol! Might be worth checking it out. There is a floating petrol station in the middle of Poole Harbor! Chris |

![]() Back in the days when I went out on my mates rib, the floating petrol stations were about 20p per L dearer than tesco. It was only the diesel that was/is cheap.
