I've just returned from holiday in the island of Margarita (off the Venezuelan coast) and after catching up on the news, found that petrol here is to have another 2p in tax added from October 1st - probably breaking the £1 a litre barrier.
Well, just to add insult to injury, the cost of petrol on Margarita is 3p (yes 3 pence) a litre and the island is also free of road tax and other duties - along with allowing any wreck of a car to be used on its roads (and that includes taxis and buses).
Mind you, mineral water for drinking is around a thousand times dearer than petrol and a million Bolivar (the islands currency) is worth around £240.....
