Thieving *******s
£1.99 a litre to "conserve fuel"
BBC NEWS | England | Devon | Fuel £1.99 a litre as tanks dry
Do not buy your fuel there - buy beer and stay at home instead and enjoy the strike
<------ muttering £1 bloody 99p a litre under his breath ............

This idea should be applied nationwide.

And despite it costing £1.99 a litre, people were still filling up!

£1.36 a litre for diesel last time I filled up. My car is sat outside on the red light too, so I'm dreading the cost to brim it tomorrow (that's if I can find fuel?!)

Rip off bast***s. £24 off an mot! WOW. Still, at least up north we haven't suffered yet, and hopefully we won't, I feel sorry for those who are suffering and being ripped off. The government aren't helping things - they take about 53p per litre in tax - thats how our American friends get it sooo cheap!

I've got a gallon can full in the shed if things get that bad
(usually reserved for the mower
)
But what car to pour it into? The Cooper S, the V6 MG, the V8 Merc, or the Sports Tranny?
I don't think any of them can manage 30 miles easily on a gallon
