Still, do you honestly think that the 138 pound tax isn't relevant? And of course, on an award ticket with an airline that doesn't have "fuel charges" the entire difference is the tax.
It is very relevant on award tickets, whether or not the airline includes fuel surcharges, but has very little relevance on revenue tickets as variations in the base fare will typically compensate and fares will for the most part be detemined primarily by supply and demand, viz. what the market will bear
