Im more ratted at these 'emails' than the price of petrol. Obviously a no brainer that thought it up. Prices have increased because the cost of a barrel of crude has increased, its the governments fault its high in this country because of the fuel duty they stick on it, 65p of every £1 goes to the government. Its them we should be pestering not the oil companies. IMO it should be brought to be on par with the rest of europe as were meant to be part of it now. Obviously will never happen!!

Actually, plenty of people are forced to drive a car. I couldn't get to work, or into town, or to anywhere my mates live without a car, and I know plenty of people in the same position. The countryside isn't filled with buses and trains, and taxis cost silly money.

If I used public transport it would cost me about 3 times what it does driving & take around 3 hours to get to work & back each way.
Im around £7 in Diesel a day & takes 45 mins each way. If I used public transport id need to take a train (£8 return) & 3 buses

I can ride a bike, but the 6 miles of main road including the dual carriageway to work aren't practical for cycling, and certainly not for walking. There's not even a path for a large part of it. And then once I got to work I couldn't travel to another site, or go and fetch the Transit which is kept at another site 20miles away.
When cars weren't around poor people walked and everyone else had a horse, and people wouldn't get jobs 6 miles from home. My car means I can get to work in under 10 minutes without being cold and wet.

I don't fancy leaving it in the car park and returning to a big pile of crap that I have to clear up after work.

Yeah thats a great idea, Ill walk down th M1 for 20 miles every night. This business about "if you dont like the prices then dont buy it" is a load of shit. People need cars to get to work. End of.
If the government was genuinley concerned about our greenhouse gasses then it would spen some of the £40 billion a year it gets from the British motorists and spend it on developing alternative transport.
Its just not practical to get 4 different busses to work and taking you 3 hours while you sit next to a tramp with a bad cough

I need to use my car to get to work, along with thousands of other motorists. If i don't work i'll be on the dole, hence claiming tax off the goverment rather than giving them it.
Right now i wouldn't have a car if i didn't need one. I bearly use it at weekends to go out due to the fact i refuse to give the goverment more money. Also cunTs damaging my car because they cannot be arsed to open a door carefully.
What you don't understand is, fuel goes up in price, therefore everything else goes up.
Comments like that come from smart arse little children that live at home and not in the real world where they need to fend for themselves.
