a lot of places around here are already 107-108p per litre, looks like it'll easily be same as it was a year or so ago with 110-120 a litre prices

with the amount of money the goverment have been pumping into the banks etc and the ever increasing un employment i can see how they need to raise fuel duty to create some revenue
however i do think they would be far better investigsting into where there money is spent and the millions that are wasted every year

next time you fill up the car, press the lever and give it a good shake to get whats in the spout and keep doing that. you may find yourself with 70p's worth lol.

cheaper the fuel is, the more people use the car, so in theory they probably get the same money anyway.

I thought it had been added on already. A week ago it was 99.9p for a litre and now its 104.9. So now the manky bastards will be putting it up to 106.9. That's a huge incease in the space of a few weeks!

But at the same time the government doesnt want us to have such a reliance on oil.

the valve is further back so there is excess within the spout, which is what i mean.

oil prices have gone below $70 a barrel so the cost of fuel should only be in theory around 75-80p funny that when the oil price goes up the price at the pump sgoes up yet when oil comes down it takes 6 months to filter though surpose the goverment has to get the money back it lent to the banks from somewhere robbing barstads
