mars bar is probably a bad example, in nearly every country i've been to (including a load of developing\3rd world places), chocolate bars are significantly more expensive than here in the UK - typically around a quid each.
So why don't divert taxes from fuel to stuff that make people fat, they can claim it is tackling an obesity problem and make everyone feel better about fuel prices. This will make them happier, more likely to spend money on stuff including sweets that they eat when they are on happy days out in the car, win win.
Problem with this is they already docurse 20%vat!

Just got back from Paris for a few days for work - diesel at 1.46 a litre and petrol at 1.60 a litre (approx). So very similar pricing but the other way around! What's that all about? Odd - and I had to double check.

Could be wrong of course, I have been known to be in the past!

That would be the "tropical formula" chocolate so they don't melt in the heat.
