A study found that millions of UK diesel drivers pay an average 85p a litre in tax at the pumps, making them the second-highest taxed among all European countries. However, this would increase to 91p a litre after the Chancellor's fuel duty hike kicks in, making the UK drivers the most clobbered in Europe. For petrol, the UK drivers are currently the 12th-highest taxed but this would leap to eighth-highest after the hike. The analysis also revealed that nearly £500 million extra VAT windfall Ms Reeves has racked in thanks to high pump price has piled pressure on her to abandon her fuel hike and use the financial gain to help pay for it.
