Why the fuck we are paying almost £1 a litre for petrol again 
I've started driving on the fuel light again the past couple of weeks just because i hate the fact we are getting raped each time we put fuel in.
Awaits the cocks who come on saying it's pennys and it won't make a difference. When it's costing you another £40 a month to fill up due to the amount of miles i do, it's fucking annoying! 90% of it is not my money, but it annoys the fuck out of me

prices go up, prices go down.
I like it when oil prices are high... 
Hate filling up cars when its expensive though. Once did 3 in one day last summer when diesel was something like 1.30 a litre. £80 in the skyline, £80 in the 911 and £100 in the Navara. Nearly made me cry.
What are you going to do though? No one is forcing you to use the fuel? Buy a bike. Move closer to work. Move work. Use public transport.
YOU choose to buy the fuel to suit your lifestyle.

and prices WILL continue to rise!
Oil is getting more and more expensive to produce. i.e the stuff thats left is harder to get at! All the east peasy stuff is nearly gone.
The price of oil has steadily being going up for the last month. Its only around $65 a barrel just now i think, but was down in the $40's about a month ago.

1.05 for me yesterday 
BUT
As Clarkson put it...for what you get for the money it's fuking good value! You pay more for decent mineral water at the supermarket  Think about it...
They have to build a huge rig..get it out to sea...find oil...drill...get it to the refinery..get it to stations..pay for the stations,staff scientists etc etc etc then the government take 40% of the 99p or whatever so the companys are only getting about 60p a litre
Made me think again anyway.Oh and don't bother buying a scooby or anything else quick if your worried about fuel costs You'll shit a brick at the 20 MPG

Thats a very good point... however, I wouldnt feel too sorry for those oil companies as their racking it in and so are the government!
