In the middle of January it cost £82 to fill my Audi A4 Tdi 130 up; and I think diesel was 127.9p a litre which was absurd in itself.
Last weekend I drove past a garage on the dual carriageway 10 miles from where I live in south west Wales and diesel was 144.9p a litre. The Shell station just down the road is one of the cheapest locally @ 139.9p.
The only saving grace is that in mixed driving I can get 500-600 miles to a tank. My old 1.6 petrol Focus whilst having a smaller tank would give me 300 miles to a tank if I was lucky. I'd be more than happy to cycle to work if I worked within a few miles of home but I'd have a round trip of 32 miles a day to commute via bike which is silly really.
This is total madness but the trouble is I can't see an end to it and everyone is scared to protest so we just deal with it................
