Having been a member of the driving community for little under 2 years, i have already found that having a driving license, and a car to back it up, is an integral part of society. Before passing my driving test i was subject to constant soakings from our glorious weather in the UK. Having my license, and a car, changed that for the better, ...

I work in the public sector and so was fortunate enough that, during the “Petrol Crisis” I was given access to fuel as it became available in order that I could get to my place and work and do my job. Despite this there were several tense days before we were told we would have access to this fuel where I shared my car with three other ...

Its hard to believe that this time last year we were all scared that the petrol protesters where going to drag us into recession after the very effective blockades. Now with similar feelings of woe from black September the oil price is bizarrely plunging to everyone’s confusion. This begs the question that maybe Brown and the world ...

I’ve just filled up my Ford Mondeo at the local garage and found that a litre of diesel is now an incredible 6p dearer than a litre of unleaded petrol, or to put it another way, if like me you still operate imperially – 27p a gallon! Why? The official reason is that the cost price of oil is determined across Europe by ...

The price of Petrol is not that bad when proper camparisons are made. Ok, I agree that the tax is high, but so is the pre-tax price compared with other countries, and that has nothing to do with government (of any persuasion). In the early 80's a barrel of crude oil was priced at around $25 per barrel. When the price of crude ...

Come on, Britain. We're not still in the days of Thatcherism now. It's kind of tiring to hear everyone banging on about taxes 'because it costs me money' - well yes, that's taxation for you. Let me say now that I drive over 30,000 miles a year. That costs me a lot of cash, and I'd do very nicely thankyou out of any ...

Petrol Prices. What an utterly boring topic to talk about, but something that affects many of us, it’s a very important factor in the economy, and one that recently (within the last year) sparked the petrol issue, with the lorries and all sorts being detained, blocked off from getting to the garages, and so petrol was very scarce, panic ...

Defenders of high petrol prices (ie ploppititans) claim that the tax is fair because it targets users and the alternative would be high income tax. Well, We are all hit by high fuel prices as it inflates the transport costs of shipping goods from factory to warehouse to supermarket etc. We have very high food prices. Especially when seen ...

I would like to just propose one question to people who think that the price of petrol is to expensive, why if it is so dear are there more and more bigger cars on the road?. This question to me sinks the argument for cheaper fuel because if the fuel was so expensive everybody would be driving small economical cars. Before you state that our ...

Let’s face it there is no way that the government are going to dramatically reduce fuel costs, and this was underlined by their reluctance to compromise during the 2000 fuel depot blockade’s. It is expensive to convert you car to the new gasoline type fuel, and also once that has become popular, you can bet that the government will ...

Petrol prices!!!! Has to be the talking point of everyone these days. It costs me about £45 to fill my car up, from empty with unleaded fuel. It costs my girlfriend, £10! And that’s a V8 Chevy truck. (shes in America in case you hadn’t guessed) So the question I want answering, is, if America, Ireland, France, Germany, ...

Why are the petrol prices in our country so damn high? I have to say that it annoys me because I have only past my test a few months ago, and now I find that my money just seems to dissolve on things, things such as... you guessed it, petrol. I don't know, maybe I should just reduce the amount of driving that I do and use public transportation ...

One million pounds an hour, that’s the profits announced by Britain’s biggest oil company today. At the peak of the fuel blockades the swine’s had the gaul to say they were losing money at the pumps. Apparently they were making the vulgar profits digging holes to find the black gold, even though oil exploration has declined ...

Do you find yourself looking at different petrol prices when on the move? Maybe you don't bother, you just do as I normally (or used to) do and just put £10/£20 worth in! The price of petrol at the moment is diabolical but like a lot of things it is a necessity for a lot of people especially those of us who live out in the ...

FAO: Residents of Britain, (Or JackBritain as it's now called) RE: Increased petrol taxation (ie, why it's good) Look here my snivelling subjects. I took over Britain over 5 years ago now, we all remember the bloodshed that happened in my rise to power, and none of us wish for it ever to be repeated. Many of you have ...

If you are a car driver, lorry driver, or own a motorcycle, you will all probably agree that we are being ripped off, when it comes to the price of fuel. Since labour came into power, the price of fuel has risen by almost 50%, this may seem exaggerated, but think back, petrol used to be 50p a litre, before he came in, now its almost 80p a ...

I would like to write this opinion because I feel that as the member of the public we are being robbed. A lot of u needs a car, whether that is driving to the station or to work. I will be working for a company which is based in Hampshire, and I can drive there or take the train. If I take the train, I still need to drive to the station, and I ...

Yes, petrol in the UK is rediculously over-priced. I am aware of the enviromental issues and that the goverment hope to create less congested roads by having higher taxation on petrol, but it doesn't seem to be working. Many don't have the option of using a reliable publice transport system to get to work, and my fellow rural ...

It is rumoured that petrol prices are likely to go up by 25p a gallon now that the election has taken place. Industry spokespeople are claiming that the fuel companies are already selling at a loss on the filling station forecourt and are currently under pressure from the Government not to put prices up, but feel they have no alternative other ...
