RIght every one knows how unbelievable the Price is, unless you dont pay attention at all, lol.
Any one catch on the news last night that if you put £50 of unleaded into your car, the government takes £37 of it.

my local Tesco is at 92.9 and restricted the pumps to let out £20 max (as i and many others found out) all other stations have run out or not sellin any petrol
my tank was just over half full and i was amazed that £20 had gone into it just to fill it up
