Fuel price rises

[adamr8965]

Duty rose at the pumps last night by 1p, and on tuesday vat is going up by 2.5% meaning fuel will be about 4 pence a litre by tuesday.
Robbing government.

Breaking out the veg oil again.

You do wonder what us Brits will put up with before we do anything.

just watched a report on the news that said along with another duty hike in april, prices for a litre of diesel could be £1.54 by the end of 2011
have other people noticed when they do a budget, the tax rises are delayed till a few months later so that everyone has forgotten about it, fuel used to go up the day after a budget and also you now have TWO budgets a year (under labour anyway, not sure if the new goverment will carry this trend on but it wouldn't surprise me)
as for how much will the public take till we do anything? alot i think is the answer , but even if there are fuel blockades and the like i still don't see it making any long term difference, after a week or so of blockades the great british public will be moaning they can't filll their cars up
the agenda of the goverment is to get us all on public transport while using the global warming gravy train to hike taxes

[FarmerPug]

Public transport is sh*t. And as for protests, they dont work.

[steve_earwig]

That depends on the protest doesn't it? Blockading fuel depots is a bit silly, all the government need to do is wait 'til everyone runs out of fuel and it'll all fall on its arse anyway. What you really need to do is kidnap the chancellor, pour a few litres of petrol over him, set fire to him & then send HM government the bill. Easy.

im still trying to get my hands on a costco card so i can get my fuel for about 80p a litre

but getting a card is not easy here

[plod]

Read earlier they reckon devils diarrhea could be £1.50 a litre within 12months

[FarmerPug]

what about after this year, surely these cuts only will happen for a while.

[Gary406]

with the country being up sh*t creek i think it will be for a bit longer,

bloody hope not tho these fuel prices are getting fkin outradgeos

i remember when prices were this much 8 years ago when i past my driving test

[Gary406]

all these oil/fuel companys could charge us 89p a litre and still they will make billions every year
