Just put 66ltrs of diesel in my mondeo and it came to £96. It's going to get worse when the caravan on the back.

Diesel used to be cheaper but the government put the tax up because of the partical pollution now all new diesel have practical muffler filters so that particsl matter is removed. They should drop the price of diesel and put the road tax up on older cars. They won't because they wouldn't make as much so I'm paying the penalty for other people's pollution.

Mr Cameron get your house in order and stop bleeding the motorist dry!

Remember, as more diesel cars are on the road they're having to refine oil for diesel now where it used to be a byproduct of refining for petrol. Also, in winter there is more use of heating oil which cuts down on what is available for diesel too, which pushes the prices up even further.

Have a word with the local chippy! It really works, well it does on pre-common rail engines anyway, plus your exhaust fumes smell lurvely

[jrenton]

About 131 in Watford

[bodgit]

With tax at £3.83 per gallon of petrol thats about 64-65% have a word with your local mp.

It's not gonna get any. Better with Iran refusing to sell us any crude now either
Probly better than nuking us
It's all a scam any way
Look for water powered car on you tube they exist
Even Reuters news has a clip on about a Japanese water car that was being used a year or two ago never mind the ones from the 80s
Splitting hydrogen from water is the answer
But that's never gonna make money for the taxman oil companies or banks so we will never be allowed it

Went down to Cardiff on Saterday via Welshpool, Newtown, llandrindod Wells etc and was amazed to see petrol at 142.9 and diesel at 147.9
Its out of control now.
Up in Mold I've just paid 143.9 at tesco for diesel.

This seems to be a non-issue. Here's a thread from a couple of years back when petrol prices went up to about £1.20+. 97 posts and a conversation that kept going.

This thread's been revived three weeks ago, and so far 14 posts. Seems people are happy to pay the prices and use their cars, or not pay the prices and not use their cars, but they don't care enough to make a fuss. Interesting...

In The Netherlands 1.80eurofor fuel!

[matthew]

Yes this is getting beyond before long there will only be the rich able to afford fuel, us poor people will have to drive electric cars , I really would miss the sound of a fuel injected monsters

[SlowOne]

It's already happening. Take a look around on motorways at weekends these days. The cars are mostly big ones and newer ones, and the only people doing above 80mph are driving expensive cars - they can afford the car and the fuel.
