Fuel Prices

[rov1200]

Petrol will soon cost £1.20 per litre after the government puts another 3p taxation on it.

How high a price would be acceptable without leaving the car in the garage? There must be a limit! As the £ gets weaker compared with the $ the price will continue to climb so this will not be the final increase.

Maybe its a government plot to get most of us off the roads.

When you live out in the country, as I do, you have no choice but to pay the inflated prices and just try to make savings elsewhere.
I live over a mile from the nearest bus stop, and no doubt others live much further distances, and even not have a bus service at all.

Fine, get us all of the roads so we buy less fuel and put less coffers in the government pockets ... i'm sure that's what they want ...

Thats a good idea Boliox. A bike may be quicker than a car for city centres. If parking your car would not be expensive the government could encourage more of us to do this.

Here we are all moaning about the hint of an increase on TAX on fuel, every one had their chance to to view & protest when the HGVs came out, Did the Public? If any Government in power decided to increase the fuel by a £1 a Litre would you come out in protest? HGVs average 7 to 10MPG they do have something to moan about, I am one of these motorist that would protest, there is a way to do it!! The haulage contractors way, the trouble with the Brits " they have not got the b@ll@cks.

2 jags seems to get about ok but then again im sure he puts it all down on his "expenses" so us taxpayers end up paying for his b.l.o.o.d.y fuel anyway!

I suppose im lucky in one way, I have a company car and fuel card so really i dont pay for it anyway but it does make me mad that the government do keep putting up the taxes on everything including cigarettes for goodness sake...

Cant we have any fun left in our lives and the government call themselves the "people person" yeah whatever! and as for the PM going on Piers Morgan show to get the sympathy vote for the next election, he certainly hasnt got my vote but then again he never has... idiots all of them.
