Didn't say it was fair mate, but you have to look at the tax situation as a whole, not just as individual items.....otherwise you can't even begin to compare us with other countries! The thing is that most of that 'tax' money from petrol goes right back to you and me to pay for other services that we all use, and the people taking from us it aren't making a profit out of us are they.
Even the petrol station barely make much money on it. They probably make more profit from the sandwich and coke you buy in the shop than then they do from a full tank of Super !!!
The price is mainly increasing due to the oil producers deciding to limit production so that prices go up. Then they stop the cap on production and flood the market, cashing in, then the price goes back down again (oversimplification obviously).
Blame the government if you want - tis the easiest thing to do - but it's got **** all to do with them.
