I started this thread on 14 December now less than 3 months on petrol and diesel is sky high near me at
129.9 unleaded up 6.6%
133.9 diesel up 9%
George Osborne is thinking about not increasing fuel duty next month by 1p lt. Big thank you to you mr Osborne. How about reducing the £3.83 tax on it. How can it be legal to make more money on taxing fuel than the company who make it get profit. Shell make less than £2 per gallon profit. Surely there must be some legal expert who can challange this in the high courts and be a super hero.

Rumours are for it to be £2 per litre by mid-Summer. And for it to be double this if the Libyan problems continue.

I don't know about you guys, but I'll be peddling to work - 20mile round trip.

I do that now but not because of the fuel price

but I think I'll not be traveling to far for race meetings from now on due to fuel prices

[Chrislong]

Agreed, or car sharing to go to race meetings.

i saw that on the news the otherday put it this way if it does happen there will be more people wizzing in there tanks at side of the road hoping it will work.

if it does happen and lasts a while too i think the roads will be abit quiet i know we cant afford to run are car as it is now we used to get 300miles for £40 last year now we get 200miles for £40 which isnt good when your on a crap income with kids.

[Big G]

me and the mrs take turns in filling the car up since we car share to work.

I tend to fill up, she tends to put £20/25 in 3 times.

The last time I filled up I was shocked to put £70 in. This morning I hit £70 and it still hadn't clicked off

I have 20 miles to work each way. I think it's time to leave 5 mins earlier and don't go over 50mph now

[bodgit]

If it does go up to £2 then think about everything else going up with it. Food will cost more to cover transport costs. Virtually anything that has to be sent by road anywhere will have to increase in price then you can bet your teeth the prices wont come down again when the troubles are over. As I said the goverment tax of £3.83 a gallon has to come down.

That's the going rate for most of N. Ireland.

I'll probably start nipping over the border again to save 15-20p per litre.

Just seen 140.9 at a local garage, 135.9 at Morrison at Hinckley 132.9 at Morrisons Coventry, isnt it about time we had a national price so we know we pay the same wherever in the country and stop some garages charging over the odds for fuel.

Last week, I saw a garage in Kimbolton advertising diesel at £143.9.
I've recently had my wifes car Ford Fusion 1.6tdci remapped and the average fuel has gone up by 8mpg. Luckily the remap was cheap and should pay for itself fairly quickly.

I was in Southern Ireland last week and they are paying 1.33 euro for a gallon of diesel, petrol is more expensive over there?
