Environmental damage is also indiscriminate - the worthy uses of fuel are
as damaging as the less worthy uses. Usefully, the amount of fuel used is
probably close to proportional to the damage caused.

And, of course, fuel taxation is not indiscriminate even now; farmers get a
discount with red diesel, and airlines pay no fuel tax at all. Perhaps it
would be better if it were indiscriminate.

I only bring this up in relation to accounting for environmental damage,
though, and specifically as a counter to the proposal by the OP of road
charges for the same purpose. Road charges don't account for damage caused
by using petroleum fuels for domestic heating, air travel, off-road use
(including farming work), driving a 4.2 litre Jag rather a Fiat Uno, etc.

And of course home heating oil is discounted and scarcely policed for
emissions at all.

but has 5% vat on it. Why, I have no idea, unless it's simply to raise
money from them as can ill afford it.

You are looking at it from the wrong angle. Most other stuff has 17.5% VAT
so the 12.5% less on heating oil is effectively a subsidy, or so I am told
when the subject of red diesel comes up. Of course, red diesel is actually
subject to 17.5% VAT when delivered in bulk.
Of course, this does not alter the facts as I stated above about pollution
and rather undermines the argument for taxes based on pollution where
vehicles are concerned because no such tax is levied on scarcely policed
home heating. Politics and making money to keep boys in jobs, that is what
it is about.

Typical fscking ocker. Ignore etiquette totally and then try and make
themselves out to be a special case. There's a simple answer to that -
into the special killfile.
