TrueBlue is wrong to class all "low volume" users as not giving a **** and wanting to stir it up. I probably use only about 60 litres per year but am extremely annoyed about the unfairness of charging road duty for fuel that is not used on the roads and in my case about 30% is used for heating and battery charging. If the rate for fuel at the marina is as high as he is suggesting, then I will be carrying it to the boat in cans, but not I think from the service station forecourt. I think the farm up the road may be able to provide some.
The aviation exemption also strikes me as unfair (to us) and although there may not be as many planes as boats, the tend to use a lot more fuel per hour. Mind you I was passed by a large motor boat last month and as I rolled about in its wake I did speculate on how many gallons per minute he was using and cherished the uncharitable thought that in two years he may use his boat less. Or slower. And preferrably a bit further away from other boats!
