PETROL PRICES

[paulc]

Get ready for the price rise apperently record high by easter

[bodgit]

I paid 142.9 lt yesterday for diesel at Wrexham.. I saw on the news somewhere selling unleaded at 152 lt.
Now costing me £12.10 more to fill my tank than it did just over 26 months ago when this thread started.

i paid 144.9 for diesel near me

i barely use the car and need £30 a week in it

its going to kill tourism in the uk, cheaper to go abroad than to go for a day out here.

Was it not on the radio the other day about it being the lowest fuel sales in 23 years or something like that. Surely the goverment must start realising by taxing fuel so much it is stoping people drivingFor me personaly I have gone from my nice tdi vw back to a 02 skoda sdi to save money. I now get 500 miles to 50 quid which is handy when your doing 700 mile a week

[Dave Dodd]

gonna start biking to work again, bit cold though

[Col]

Be grateful... I do 3 tanks a week most weeks!

159p at a motorway service station at the weekend, thankfully I didn't need fuel. my car is supposed to run on super unleaded, but given up on that. Looking at a 102 mile commute potentially...

So how far do people commute on a daily basis?

[RudolfXC]

I do 60 miles a day, 5 days a week at 35mpg

[tisher]

I do between 500 and 700 mile a week at 63 to 68mpg We do 100 mile round trip every friday to race

Shameless promotion for Quentin Wilson and no evidence whatsoever that it has any impact. Cameron and Osborne are more worried about what the Daily Telegraph, Mail and Express readers think, not some rich website owner trying to get richer.

Daily commute 14 miles return. Average 40mpg as its a bit busy. Going to consider getting on my bike in the summer - nice ride along river path for most of the way.

Yup not good

Town I get around 20mpg. Cruise control, 70 on motorway 35 mpg

510 miles a week is going to hurt. Go 55 at mo.

Was tempted to get £1k heap, trash it and get another etc.

Two cars, normal and the heap insures 3rd party.

[vrooom]

we are paying 12th most expenisve fuel, Conisder us lucky, the Norweign people paying £1.76 per litre.

For me? I dont care, if it's empty, I just fill it up again. until my weekly wage get low I think my car does 20-30mpg. (1991 toyota MR2)

[bodgit]

As above my lads MR2 turbo does no more than 30mpg but my daughter's fiesta 1.4 tdci gets 58mpg on average over 600-650 miles a week a massive saving on her last petrol car over £130 a month ad 0nly £30 tax and cheap ins and to be honest once you get up to speed its not a bad little car.
My cmax 2lt tdci gets combined 42-44mpg and long runs hits 50mpg.
No idea what the bikes do but just fill them up when needed.
