fuel prices

[hawkonater]

why does fuel have to go up. hate having to pay for all these taxes its mad. and its making drive like a granny. anything to save fuel. will have to dust off the bicycle again i think.

[Slammed_Posi_Vtr]

Yep, it sucks, time to get a more economical car, and/or protest against the rising prices like numerous facebook groups etc are suggesting.

[Pixie]

I think its called Gordon Brown & Recession lol :P

[Carlvtr88]

Hawkonater.. At least you have a 1.1... i cant imagine how people with an S are coping lol !

[hawkonater]

yh i guess so lol. u must be feeling the pinch with a 1.6

[Dan-SRi]

Try running a 2.0 turbo, along with my tax has gone up to 275 a year! :( Stuuuuupidly expensive!

[gaz_vtr_]

i had to downgrade from a 2.0 clio 172 to a vtr to try and bring costs down but if the fuel prices go up anny more it will be like owning it again i mean what the fuck does the government want
by these prices i recon they want everyone rolling in 1.0 cars fkin c**ts

[jaytay]

yep real piss take gues the scoobys on hold for a few lol just gettin ridicolous now,should do what the truckers do cause chaos.if everyone took a stand then maybe something would get done.then again they did that with maggie thatcher over council tax and it still stands to date.looks like touching toes and takin the big one up the ass yet again guys and gals lol

[gaz_vtr_]

quote from a comeadeon cant think which 1 tho

"they should put put porn on at all the petroll stations so we know were not the only ones being screwed while we fill up"

[jaytay]

hehe aint that thee truth

[Jo3fish]

Fuel prices in GB are insane.

We’re cutting back (forcibly) due to extortionate tax on fuel.

Then there’s the fat, lazy, American c*nts in their 3lr suv's paying 30-40cent a litre, as well as the rest of the bast*rd world.

All just to pay back the twating debt the government have wasted on countless things.

I don’t think the amount of tax we pay reflects in any way, shape or form the amount of money spent on the NHS, Council, emergency services etc.

it’s a joke.

[0rang3peel]

I was thinking about getting a 106 1.5DIEsel because of it tbh :(

[jaytay]

thinkin bout a skateboard myself lol

[hellonpluto]

£35 to get just over half a tank is a fucking joke in a VTR!! :n:

[gaz_vtr_]

youl have to pax tax to use a bike soon the way things are going

[gaz_vtr_]

sorry to steal this thread but what are people paying for fuel and where ill start

[Pixie]

I put a tenner in cause that is all i can afford i've done 30 miles and im nearly empty :(

It doesnt, It goes towards their second homes - Tony blairs Tv Licence and a few porno Dvds for the female MPs husbands !

[Jordysport]

Turbo cars is the way to go better mpg :D

my mpg doubled from going from a VTR to my twingo. and i have more performance in the twingo.

absolutly lolled at last nights debate, too much tax on fuel.:boxing:

EDIT:
120.9 is nothing i see regulary 125.9 down here in devon. cheapest i've found is 122.9

[gaz_vtr_]

speculation it will rise to about 150 this year

[Jo3fish]

Thats what im saying.

Did you not see the whole thing where one of the goverment MPs claimed that he claimed back money from tax payers money, to "pay of his morgage".

And this wasnt just 1000-2000, it was something like 27k. And after investigation they found that his morgage was already paid off!!

Now i dont know about anyone else.. but you know when your morgage is paid off.. you dont just "forget" which is what he claimed when he was caught. You can just turn around and say "oh.. i didnt realise id already paid my morgage off".

Then you get some of them claiming back money theyve spent on chrisps and pop from petrol stations!! a*seholes.

[Jo3fish]

speculation it will rise to about 150 this year

Their will be protests before that happens.

It will have to come back down.

[josh1989]

tax law states you can not be taxed twice on your income....go figure

not an issue for me at the moment i get to claim government expenses :P tee hee

[frankie]

it was 1.20 dollars for a gallon in canada...

which was about 80 pence, for 4 litres...

i get 17.5% off mine to...

Fat cunts.

Apparently there is meant to be a one day boycott of petrol stations. This wont work because they know that eventually you are goin to have to fill up anyway.... the real way to do something about it is to only use certain brands. So Boycott Esso and BP as these are generally the two most expensive, but still use the likes of shell and jet etc. If everyone does it esso and bp will be losing out so they will have to put there prices down to provide competition, but even when they have put it back down a few pence, still stick with shell and jet because they will put theres down too, if you stick with it long enough you well get back down close the the £ mark

i've said this countless amounts of times now, on average the fuel companies are charging you about 20-30p a litre, the cost comes from tax boycotting all but one will make no difference to the tax

and besides that most fuel stations get their fuel from shell, bp, esso etc so you'd still be giving the big companies their money :)

[hawkonater]

youl have to pax tax to use a bike soon the way things are going

better start taxing bikes. wish i was old enough to vote. all those expenses thats what its all about.

[steviee90]

fair point, im corrected lol is it not like 62% of what we pay is going to the government now ?

[hawkonater]

better not starts taxing bikes i meant woops

[0rang3peel]

The most expensive I have seen it here in Swansea is £1.22 at Texaco

Morrisons / Asda were both at £1.17

We usually have it a bit cheaper here but wages are shitter aswel

[hawkonater]

its not the garages its the goverment

[josh1989]

fair point, im corrected lol is it not like 62% of what we pay is going to the government now ?

possibility it's even higher than that.

[Barry123]

Hawkonater.. At least you have a 1.1... i cant imagine how people with an S are coping lol !

I got 59 mpg out of my S earlier this week in order to save a bit of cash.

[KrisJ]

The reason fuel prices are so high is because our stupid government is in so much debt that we have to get them out of it, its not like in the summer of 08 when prices went up to about 126 i think, because oil prices had gone up, the amount of tax is extortionate but i don't think anything will change unfortunately because petrol is such a neccessity for so many people.....

[Pieface]

£35 to get just over half a tank is a fucking joke in a VTR!! :n:

Wow, what petrol station do you go to? £43 for me to fill my VTR to the top. from about 1/8th of a tank.

[Tringaling]

Its a HUGE joke, why we harvest this oil then sell it to the USA to buy it back i dont know!

Im paying 120.9 down here in Hampshire, somebody needs to do something as people will start boycotting, luckily im in the army and i can take my pushbike if i need to go anywhere, roll on Afghan in May..might bring back some oil LOL

[jaytay]

119.9 here thats waitrose every where else 120.9 next tax soon.....air you breathe

[KrisJ]

Saxp discount ;)

[Manu]

More tax, more potholes.

Apparently there is meant to be a one day boycott of petrol stations. This wont work because they know that eventually you are goin to have to fill up anyway....

You're partially wrong there: they still have to pay staff and other running costs. So a day without customers is still a loss. Now the real stuff: take a few trucks, block the motorways, country goes standstill and millions of pounds will be lost for petrol companies since less fuel is burnt.

tax law states you can not be taxed twice on your income....go figure

How about some VAT on your fuel duty ? Make that 3 times please.

[jaytay]

be safe bud and yeah sax p discount lol

[Tringaling]

Saxp discount ;)

Huh?! Is it oil your after? ;) LOL

[frankie]

presummebly they've whacked the price of petrol up as they can rape the tax from it...

surely this will go towards paying off the huge amount of debt the country is in, atleast they put it on something, which really we dont have to buy, as we could travel far more efficently...

[Moke]

I got 59 mpg out of my S earlier this week in order to save a bit of cash.

Your a fucking hero at saving petrol!

I just can't get any more than 36mpg :n:

[jaytay]

at least the car doesnt get ragged so much lol

[Tringaling]

Your a f*cking hero at saving petrol!

I just can't get any more than 36mpg :n:

HOWEVER, its fun to drive at 50mph on the M3?! :homme:

[jaytay]

[Tringaling]

wouldnt make much difference here m6 and m5 allways digging up so 50 is average u get....but thats another thread hehe

Lol, chin up! Whats this bout discount then? ;)

[josh1989]

wouldnt make much difference here m6 and m5 allways digging up so 50 is average u get....but thats another thread hehe

have you seen why there on road works on m6? the works just north of birmingham are for those bastard speed cameras in each lane that vary in each lane and between cameras, wouldn't surprise if the works further north are for the same thing|!| :wall::wall:

Im getting on average between 30 - 33 mpg from £25 worth of fuel.

And thats driving like a grandad most of it travelling at 70 on the A55.

[wadoryu]

im having to get the push bike back out now. although i need to get fit agian anyway so it's a bonus tbh. but i mean i used to get 40 quid to brim my tank it cost 51 quid last time. and that was before the last rise:wall:

[Reechard]

I am paying about 124.9 for 99ron in the S.

Not too bad as I am making last a bit, but going on track will rinse it.

[MiDnighTcLuB]

[Proffitt]

That will down to your driving mate. Ease of the pedal :y:

adsayer is getting 50+ in his VTS

[Reechard]

[MiDnighTcLuB]

Yeahh i know mate,, but even when driving carefully i'm only getting about 40 mpg.. :(

[hawkonater]

my mpg will get worst if i keep doin my care up

[MiDnighTcLuB]

what i lvoe is that in the HDI on the motorways i'll be getting about 65MPG and thats cruising at 70 :D ... With prices like these Diesel is DEFINETLY the way forward,, i can't see a downside to it atm as its exactly the same price where i live..

[MiDnighTcLuB]

i feel sorry for my dad,, he's got a petrol 2.4 ltr V6 merc .. thats gotta hurt the bank balance !!

[Morgan_VTR]

£35 to get just over half a tank is a fucking joke in a VTR!! :n:

Excuse me? 35/40 would fill mine from empty. About 20 ish to get half way now.

How much is it round your way?

[hawkonater]

i filled up from empty last weekend. it cost me £47. its mad :wacko:

[0rang3peel]

My last fill up was £51 ... thats in a mk 1 vtr :s

[Pieface]

No, because if a strike would happen, you'd get all the "smart" people taking part fill up the day before. So they will have a huge rise of profit the day before and that will balance out the next days losses. People need Petrol, and if they boycott a day, it will just be the day before or after they go and get petrol. Hardly boycotting it. If people want to boycott petrol prices they'd take Public Transport for say a week or a month, then the prices would lower as they don't have their customers, because the customers don't need petrol, yet people are too stubborn to take Public Transport.

[MiDnighTcLuB]

my last full tank before the last rise was 42 quid :(

[MiDnighTcLuB]

Could you imagine everyone with a car getting onto a bus tho lol there wouldn't be enuff transport for the people

[0rang3peel]

People need petrol so they can charge what they like for it, end of the day petrol prices effect everything and there is fuck all as individuals we do apart from try and use less.

[Tommo87]

Last night I paid 126.9/litre for v-power, today I may pay as much as 128.9.

[Pieface]

Could you imagine everyone with a car getting onto a bus tho lol there wouldn't be enuff transport for the people

But if there was a rise in more people wanting to take public transport, then the services would provide. People just like to moan about the price of petrol, when it's all a case of Supply beating demand at the moment, and there are other ways of getting to a destination. They're not forced to drive, they can take the bus/train.

i can't see them basicly "making" a load more public transport if its blatently not going to be for a huge amount of time, the only problem with this plan is that it's almost impossibly to get EVERYONE to not drive there cars and to strike, theres no way to get that much organisation !

So you're just drawing a conclusion to the whole point I made?

[MiDnighTcLuB]

Yeahh looks that way... lol.. Could always use subliminal messaging on TV and Radio.. haha

[Proffitt]

Its meant to mapped or chipped.
The previeus owner said that so it could be bollocks! Lol

This is narrow minded. The price of petrol affects everyone, whether you drive or not.

I am not moaning about petrol prices just because I like it. It is expensive, period. Of course I'm not forced to drive, but taking a combination of walk/bus/taxi/train would almost triple my journeys time, but also cost me even more.

Because you don't seem affected by the sky-high prices, doesn't mean others shouldn't complain. It's funny how you say the services would provide. Because as of right now, they don't. I don't fancy using chav filled transports that reek of piss and are more than often late.

The government hiked the prices, it is not a matter of supply and demand, it is not a question of weak pound. It's your favorite PM along with your favorites MPs, helping themselves deep in our pockets. Wake up.

[JLS09x]

arent they a joke ? i remember when i passed it was only something like 80p a litre :(

[carter]

No not at all. lol

Im getting on average between 30 - 33 mpg from £25 worth of fuel.

And thats driving like a grandad most of it travelling at 70 on the A55.

your lucky, think ive seen 30mpg once! and that was on a long trip down south, im getting 15-19 around town and 23-26 on mway :n:

[brianS]

i struggle with 18- 25 mpg.

[carter]

i struggle with 18- 25 mpg.

what do you drive?

[stevie_m]

what do you drive?

if it's a saxo he must drive it like he stole it. Or it really needs a right good service.


Or some pikey's are siphoning your tank

on a serious note the pertrol is comming down in price up here

[Mr_X]

fuel prices are a joke, they cant keep going up otherwise it wont to worth having a car, going to work etc. Each time there is a price rise we get closer to an alternative.

[Pieface]

You call me narrow minded, yet you don't use public transport as it smells of piss and is full of chavs? Seriously? Have you been on a bus at all? You seriously need to wake up with your narrow minded views. If you actually look at my post I never said "boo-yah now I can drive and laugh at the poor people struggling". It's just laughable when people make petrol out to be a necessity with driving their cars when there are other ways to get to a destination. Instead of moaning, why not try other forms of getting there? Oh because it takes 3 times as long, so Petrol is bad, Public services are too lower class for you, and waste your time. You need to wake up to the world and realise inflation, taxes and supply and demand.

It's just laughable you call me narrow minded, when your post reeks of narrow minded views.

[brianS]
