come on skippy, let's not ignore the fact that you're making good money out of driving people around, and that is your prime motivation for doing it, not as a public service.

come on Jeepster some people HAVE to be driven round in 30ft long cars ,it makes sure people know they can afford it and gives their shallow lives a boost when they think passers by think their important when they get out of it

i for one insist on having one even to take a can to the garage to put £3 in for the mower ,no sence in wasting your own petrol fetching petrol

i had a girl swoon at my feet once getting out of a limo ,i must have looked really important and impressive ,looking closer though it maybe because the 3 tons of rusting rubbish was parked on her foot

interesting how when you point something like this out to people, they seldom respond!

If they use historical cost accountancy they have to charge fuel at current market rates. It funds the hedge against future fuel purchases - they may make a few quid on it - but they could end up losing if they don't charge enough.

if they payed tax on it they'd lose even more
