Because of very low excise tax on PETROL what would be the effect on efficiency?

I think the quality for other petrol will be so bad and the best will be more high

This is a fair point, and I actually did this problem in a class at some point.  The bottom line is that any cost difference is going to be very small, but there can indeed be some difference.  And as the previous poster pointed out, the gas is stored in a well-insulated, underground environment, which makes any differences even more negligible.\n\nThe difference can be more pronouced if a tanker truck fills up in a 90 deg F area, drives all day and delivers to a 40 deg area.  Here, there is enough of a volume change to be noticeable.

Turbo charging does affect gas mileage. Typically not as much as supercharging which draws power directly from the engine. However, both will reduce fuel economy slightly since you never get something for nothing in life. The gain with a super or turbo charger is of course is more power because as the prior post points out you're adding more air so you can mix more fuel to get more power.

This would be a "regressive" tax which taxed those who are least able to pay in at a higher percentage.\nAttempts to balance this with a "luxury" tax have failed because they unfairly punish certain industries i.e. yacht manufacturers.\n\nIn principle, replacing the income tax with a consumption tax, such as the flat tax, offers the possibility of improving the efficiency, equity, and simplicity of the tax system. But these gains are uncertain and depend critically on the details of the reform. At least some of the gains could be made simply by modifying the existing system.\n\nIdealized consumption taxes may always look better than actual income tax systems. Once in place, though, they would be subject to the same compromises and pressures as the income tax is. They could even lead to a system that is less efficient and less fair than the one we have.

we should raise the gas tax and lower the income tax

The main advantages are that it's cleaner to produce and burn than gasoline or other conventional fuels.  The main disadvantages are that it's more expensive to produce and the energy yield per mole is lower.

I think that would be a marvelous idea.  That's the advantage Europeans have in dealing with high fuel prices.  My friends in the UK can get all their basic essentials and groceries within biking or walking distance of their residences.  I, for one, would love to have a neighborhood grocer.\n\nDisclaimer:  I come from a long line of independent grocers - my grandfather owned a small grocery store, as did his father and grandfather before him.  It's not my field, however, so the only way neighborhood groceries would affect me is by lowering my fuel costs.

At a minimum, you'd have to pay the taxes, but you'd also get hit with a fraud charge and tax evasion charges.  There is potential jail time involved if it's large scale, though they probably wouldn't touch an individual doing it in one vehicle.\n\nThat said, Off road diesel is typically higher in sulfer content and the engine needs to be set differently to operate properly.  The fuel is harder on the engine which increases the amount of maintenance required.

GOODS and service tax\ntaxes are not unnecessary!\nif you don't like the price of gas stop driving everywhere, use the bus, bike,&/or walk\nI hope the price goes up even higher so people will stop wasting this resource!

The lubricant affects the efficiency indirectly as there are other parameters involved.For example the pulley, effort applied is directly proportional to the load lifted and hence when we use a lubricant in the wheel the effort applied cannot directly vary the load lifted but only aids in the lifting.

It should be the same methodology... the eps will be diluted by more expensing, and the number will be lower.

I'll try to remember. We have Value Added Tax, about 17.5% on certain goods and at a lower rate for gas (petrol) and electricity. Capital Gains Tax after an inheritance over a certain amount. Income Tax, comes out of your wages or your business profits. National Insurance paid out of your wages but your boss pays a larger amount than you, this pays for Welfare benefits and free hospital treatment. Council Tax for all local services Street cleaning, Road mending council house repairs, the police etc., Water rates which pay for your water supply, some areas like where I live in Eastbourne East Sussex have two lots, one for sewage and one for supply as we have different companies supplying both services. I'm not sure if there's an Inheritance Tax as well as the Capital Gains tax but there's also Stamp Duty which is paid during the act of buying a house and various Exises and Duties levied on goods brought into the countries at ports and airports.

Yes, as long as its Global. I have been to America and just got back from Canada. The cars and pick-up trucks they drive make our 4 x 4s look tiny. I am a Labour supporter but the so called green taxes would lose my vote unless the Government can convince me that every penny raised in extra revenue will be be used to fight Global warming and its effects and not just a excuse to increase the coffers of the Chancellor.

There is not sufficient information to calculate efficiency. \n\nFor an engine you need the energy input and the energy output. Energy output divided by energy input times 100 gives you the efficiency. \n\nThe amount of fuel and its energy content will take care of the input. The output requires a dynamometer or some other means of measuring the energy output at the engine shaft

Divide the milage by the cost of the petrol used.\n\nIf it cost you $50 to fill the gas tank and you travelled 1000 kilometers, you would get 20 kilometers per dollar.

the tax on the goods manufactured before being sold is excise tax (the tax relates to goods ready for being sold but not yet sold)

Time at home with the family because the overtime is going to be taxed at 30% and the difference on the paycheck will be very minimal.  Also, there will be very few customers and business will be sloooooow.  Time will go painfully slow.
