Not in anything I read.

Yes it struck me as quite high but then anything diesel powered and
not licenced for road use probably runs on red. Construction
machinery and the like.

Anyway 55.1 l of red later and £49.54 lighter in the wallet I might
be £25.68 (£30.81 inc VAT) up next week. Which probably means the
duty won't go up on red or the duty freeze on road fuels removed.
