Funnily enough, the price per barrel of crude oil has dropped by around eight pence from this time last year to now, yet the price of fuel has increased. I posted a huge post on this examining the trends and the factors affecting the price at the pumps but it's too early to do that again, 9am. Crying or Very sad.

Oh Government, you so funny with your crazy fuel taxes. Mr. Green.

Also, I didn't see that second part.

Does your car have a 12 litre Scania engine in it or do you just have a 200 mile commute to work Paddy? Laughing!

"The Office of Fair Trading will decide next week whether to open an investigation into whether reductions in the price of crude oil are being passed on to motorists"

They will find no justification to investigate further because the MP's will have told them not to dig up the dirt.

It aint just one party, they are all leeching theiving sh**s lining their own pockets & shafting the general public because the majority are too spineless to object & when we do the Coppers step in because we live in an 'unofficial Police State'

We are also not allowed to mention:
Price Fixing
Monopolies commission
MP personal investments in BP & Shell
Add together Petrol Tax AND VAT

Piss taking Ba****d MP's


OK OK I'll get off my soapbox now

Oh no! Not 4p!

Prices may be the same as this time last year then, we can't be having that.

There's been next to no shift in petrol prices over the last year.

A penny rise and a penny reduction over and over again, and people keep complaining
that it keeps rising, when in fact it hasn't. If anything prices are lower now than they
were 9 months ago.

A tenner should get just over 1.5 gallons of diesel, so 40 miles each way at 50 mpg would do it. Should cost about half that on a 125 - bit more than half if there's lots of full throttle NSL involved.

Naw,, he cancelled the 3.02ppl rise for January, but they are going ahead with a rise of 'up to' 4ppl anyway.
