Missed Inglourious Bastards at the cinema last night as I needed fuel and everyone decided to save themselves a pound by going last night

Letters have been coming out since last Friday, 1% on fuel and 0.25% on everything else, there's not much better to change to atm either.

Shell can shaft their fuel up their arse now the one in Windsor has shut. I'll start using Tescos now theres one on the way to work.

Get yourself a clubcard and you'll effectively be getting 2% cashback plus if you happen to spend £50 in store the 5p off a litre offer was due to go back live today

Joe, I was just looking at the clubcard credit card as well, I like to put all my fuel on one card and pay monthly.
You get 1 point for every £1 (or is it litre?) plus then 1 point for every £4 on the credit card.
Spending £150-200 on fuel a month would work out at about 200-250 points

That's the other option as you then earn points on anything else might buy.
You get the vouchers every 1/4 so although you'd only be looking at £6-7.50 each time it's better than nothing.

How can people say it doesnt bother them? Fuel is around 50p a litre in the states. We pay over double that - just shows how spineless we as a nation really are!

I think the goverment knows we will buy it what ever hence the rise. Has nothing to do with saving the enviroment or what ever they say.
And for the record I spent a month on public transport this year its shit so I will continue to pay the price thanks

Hugely disappointed shell have stopped the 3% cashback 
They're still the cheapest round here though and their fuel is so much better than Tescos so I'll still use them. Won't be using the card any more though. Will switch back to my Egg card which at least gets 1% on everything.

if anyone wants to run for prime minister and have a good idea, just say you'll reduce fuel tax and duty a lot and you'll definitely be in.
the only reason it's rising is to pay for the government to waste all the money raised on useless shit like wars that we shouldn't even be in andto pay for scroungers on the dole.

I hate it when people say scroungers on the dole, Unemployment in lincoln was around 900 last feb, now its at 6000 due to the recession so to say that people on the dole are scroungers is wrong. Id say less than 20% of the people on the dole are happy that they have to claim benefits.
Its a snowball effect: Put fuel prices up and it will put a lot of businesses out of trading and further raise unemployment. It will also put people who rely on a car for work under even more financial difficulty and put some of them out of work as they simply cannot afford to live and commute to work at the same time adding more people to the unemployed benefits scheme costing the government even more money.
The government waste far more on wars that dont concern us, looking after immigrants, paying for their 'expenses,' bailing out failing banks and the motor industry with this scrappage scheme, being part of the eu, plus plenty of other shit thats kept under wraps.
Like i said, we pay more for the fuel duty than we do for the actual fuel and we are the only nation that puts up with it, yet no one stands up for themselves because the country is spineless as fuck. We just accept that we have to pay it and that a third of our earnings is stolen from us in tax.
Doing petrol runs is a great idea, your only taking whats yours! If the uk just stood up for itself and every single motorist ran no plates and filled up without paying then held protests at all the ports the government would have to listen and let us have our say. We live under a dictatorship and no one can see it!

well my cousin used to work with me at ford and i got my full contract but he didn't as he joined a couple months after me and they laid him off.
he has been out of work since last christmas and has ben working with his dad who is a building contracter, gets paid cash in hand and still claims off the dole.
same goes with my other cousins boyfriend who's doing the same.
i'm paying to keep them and their kids in a nice house with decent pay while i'm stuck at home unable to save enough money to get my own house.
