It used to be shown on the pump but no longer is. In the US the tax is roughly 1/3 of what we pay. Exact rate in United Kingdom I do not know but I am certain as in the US it is significant. We pay every year for registration, plates, I believe in UK the plate stays with the car.
I THINK that the current federal tax on a gallon of gas is about 18.3 per gallon.....in Florida, add .344 to that.
