Why is it still going up will it just continue to go up indefinately or will there be a crash like there is ment to be in the housing market?

Went to france the other day and normal petrol was 138.9 and optimax or quivalent was 140.9 thats a difference of about 1p so why in this country is it like 10p a litre?

Just frustrates me grrrrrr

Rant over

what would happen if everyone in the uk didnt buy fuel for a week? would the effect them? could the consumer notp go on strike for a change instead of the companies!!

it is pathetic tho! the cheapest garage round my way is £1.03.9 for petrol and the most expensive is £1.08.9

i dont understand why we put up with it so much, if this was america we'd have world war 3 on our hands people going ape at the gouverment. We just sit back and take it.

Agree totaly! strikes should happen again definatly!!

more than likely wont happen tho

Strikes wont achieve anything really - we still need fuel. its a comoditiy

Untill they start mass producing hydrogen powered cars im affraid the only way is up for the price, especially with the summer usa driving season approaching

I personally have only filed up with petrol twice in the last 6months so its not too bad here for the saxo ;)

Diesel on other hand takes the piss, 115p roughly :|

damn miserable government... but thats about all I can say at the moment, not exactly going to change anything. Prices set to increase soon as well... not good.

I used to care, but then I worked out when prcies were 'cheap' at 89p a full tank cost me 40 quid. It now costs about 6-7 quid more for a full tank so for me thats 6-7 quid a week. For the freedom my car gives me I can handle that tbh.

What does piss me off is the stupid new road tax system and the fact a pints gonna cost around 4 quid by xmas time.
