UK is one of the most expensive places for petrol. None of the money made from the petrol is gone to improve life for the motorist. Gallon of petrol costs £4.50. Is that fair on the motorist. No because there is no alternative to driving my car, public transport sucks. In winter standing outside for hours for a bus to come is not ...

I'm not an expert on this subject, I just believe that raising the price on petrol is the only way to stop people from driving everywhere and destroying the planet. Everyday I walk to school. It's a 15 minute walk which I do four times a day. But most people just hop in the car, even if they live just down the road from their school. Everyday ...

Are we being ripped off? Well of course we are and we all know it. The governments Policy is if it moves tax it and if it doesnt move tax it. AND if we can convince you its bad for you we can treble or quadruple the tax on it. Lets please face the Obvious, cars and planes are here to stay. We don't all want to go on a walking holiday ...

I hate petrol prices and I hate the government trying to tell everyone to use public transport. I live in a tiny village. There is no public transport. I have no choice but to have a car. I wouldn't object so much to the petrol prices if it wasn't for the fact that it is mostly tax, and the government don't even spend this money on ...

Let me tell you a little story, about 3million years the dinosaurs died. Lucky buggers, cos they never had to put up with Petrol at £1 a litre. Last time I looked, fuel was not free, and I'm not even going to suggest making it free. What I am going to suggest is the following... 1. Tell the American's to pay their fair share. 2. ...

Yes of course we are being robbed. But the best part about it is the fact that the British public are extremely stupid and gullible as to believe it has to be this way, we no longer posess the ability to stand up against anything. We are a nation of easily led individuals, and are very easy to dictate to, this will not change. So, the result is ...

I've just launched a new scheme. www.peoplespetrol.com We are trying to negotiate with fuel wholesalers to offer a discount to the average punter on the street. Private motorists, some of us who help fuel the economy with our mileage, business travel and the fuel we buy, should, I beleive be entitled to a fuel ...

I have to say this country is becomming a disgrace. The government love the petrol going up, it means they can keep taxing us like they do for cigarettes, thankfully i don't smoke! I'd recommend anybody that needs petrol regularly to consider buying a ford or something which is more economical. The Fiesta for example is cheaper to ...

Forget Petrol Crises don’t use your credit card at the Petrol Station A new kind of thieves about I like to call them the Credit card Thieves Have you stopped at a petrol station to fill up some petrol and paid via credit card. I mean that’s normal right well STOP right there. After you paid by your credit card and left ...

There can be very few people who are unaware that the price of unleaded is now almost £1 per litre. This piece is about the background to oil prices and how you can use fuel more efficiently. Some Background The price of a barrel of crude oil is a function of supply and demand. When supply is low, the price rises and ...

I have been driving now for 4 years and noticed a very steady increase in the petrol prices, and at the same time, the petrol companies are making billions of pounds profits. You can blame the government all you like, but it is the suppliers who are making the real money. I agree that the government is charging a high percentage of tax on the ...

Ok, now this is of course a controversial issue. Firstly you have the environment and the more we drive then the worst the environment is hit, and yet you also have the side that each and everyone of us wants to have their own cars so that they can travel when they want and where they want. My simple view is that Petrol is just too ...

Petrol pricing. Where to begin? Well, I guess the first thing to say is that Petrol Prices are currently at their highest. Although now slightly down, they peaked at £1 /litre for the first time in history a few months ago... A BREAKDOWN IN PRICES: But what makes up our petrol prices? Is it the cost of the raw ...

If you look at the governments taxing lists and amount of tax they put on items it would be no suprise that petrol, diesel etc would be near the top. This is because of the environmental issues to do with carbon usage in them, the machines which run on this churn out carbon emissions left right and centre, and i think that the tax on ...

I am a novice when it comes to thinking about petrol prices, I wasn't a driver in the major petrol blockades, but I was working in a care home looking after elderly sick people. And it concerned me that we couldn't get them out to go places because of lack of fuel. I have now been driving a year, and yes Petrol Prices are my concern, ...

Of course petrol prices are too high. Last night when I filled my car petrol price was 89.9 and diesel was 93.9 per litre. This price is about 4p less than a few das ago when prices went up because of hurricane problems in the USA. Why do we pay such high prices? We can blame the market forces or the OPEC. But the real ...

Early this morning, I drove past my local Asda petrol station and found 4 queues each with no less than 10 cars in each. When I drove past 4 hours later, there were signs advising drivers that there was no more unleaded available. A few miles down the road, I stopped at a local Shell garage to find even more people waiting to fill up their tanks. ...
