What really vexes me, is everyone loves to talk about petrol prices and how expensive it is, but no one does anything. The solution is so simple and has been round for years and it only requires people to put their convenient life on hold for a short while and you watch the reaction from the oil companies and government. But as we're a nation of moaners and not do'ers they'll keep getting away with it.

Exactly, come to think of it my avatar kind of reflects what British people like these days. Crying little babies at home moaning, lol.
Problem is the solution wouldnt work unless everyone and I mean literally everyone joined in and did in the country who own or use any type of vehicle.

Went on the site.
Supposed to be a big demonstration yesterday in Wales to Severn Bridge.
What happened, haven't heard anything?
have to disagree with you there. the government has to make their cut so if less people use it the tax goes up.its like the utility bills. everyone gets economy a appliances so the total energy usage goes down but they increase the prices and quote the 'avarage' bill
i've given up now. i been filling up all last week at 1.15 to 1.19.
got myself loads of them shell v power ferraris!

i;ve heard of a haulage company paying £1.27 a litre for a full tanker just last week
so it shouldn't be long till this price increase hits us
My local Tesco was at 119.9 this morn and they are usually the cheapest by a good few pence. I personally think we should cut China off as it's their demand pushing the price up, if they just wen back to their dark days we would all be happy again, it works out in the long run, we get cheap s**t from the East but we end up paying loads more than we save by the rising fuel prices. Kinda an oxymoron if you ask me.
p.s. was in France the other week and it's 134.0 so they're not much better off than us and they barely pay half the duty we do.

Yep think I've got two of each now, which is no consolation whatsoever. Just goes to show how much it is gone up, few years ago it take me months just to get one, lol.

Still paying 1.05 for 95 ron stuff for my POS. (no point putting 97 or 99 in)
when i started driveing which was not to many years ago think 5 years i was paying 69.9p per litre of petrol its nearly double that now that just makes my brain hurt
as for if you buy i litre @ 105.9p then you will get charged 106p as like someone said previously it gets rounded off to the nearest penny

It only just gone over a pound a litre?
JUst for interest
Of the March 2008 price of 103.9p/litre, 65.9p or 63.4% goes to the government (50.35p fuel duty and 15.5p VAT).
That is hurendous.
