supply and demand, make me laugh,
i think if the rest of the world paid the same as us, there would not be an issue,
as always its the little guy who suffers,
how it helps the environment if we all have to go and buy new cars i have no idea
joined up thinking, be surprised if the clowns in this government can manage joined up writing
don't see too many buses on my local industrial estates
try moving all the mp's out of London to where there is no public transport
as for houses for them, save millions move them all to swindon, make the gits commute every day, and let the petrol come out of their wages,
all those eastern European lorries to fight against on the roads and we will see how they love their tiny 1ltr city cars then

Filled up today for $40 - a tank full!! And they are creating merry hell over here as prices have increased so much!!! UK is 3rd most expensive globally (according to CNN yesterday) due to taxation - no other reason. And the Government wont reduce the revenue as it helps pay for their jolly in Iraq


Blockades - bring them on !!

Are you sure

last week I filled up in France, and Italy and with today's exchange rate it equates to between £1.28 and £1.37 per litre for Super unleaded

Diesel is about the same £1.24 to £1.33 per litre

Motoring in Europe is no cheaper than in UK with the state of the £ to the €

Now that I am fully aligned with.

Italians also do the same thing as the French - just not as often and not as widely reported.

last year they blocked all autostrada enrtries and exits with trucks due to fuel prices and they also had a national 'do not buy pasta' for 2 days as a result of the increased price of pasta.

it's disgusting how they say their reason for these stupid prices are for climate change. Why are we the only bloody country with these stinking prices.

OK it does seem expensive I wouldn't mind if other countries were paying the same too but for one reason we have to pay for fuel to get to work etc and the other is why are we being singled out?

Japan and the US are far by more polluting countries than the UK

Signe - Not that its going to change at all.

What gets me is if fuel stays at current levels till the end of the year, it adds up to an estimated extra 2 Billion pounds in revenue for the government...

What will they do with the extra cash...???

Waste it on ID cards and (if they feel they can get away with it) programmes to benefit marginal constituencies in the run-up to the next general election.

Alternatively, they might be so moronic as to spend it on painting more "20 is plenty" signs all over the roads - totally useless, everyone ignores them anyway and tailgate you when you obey them.
