People laugh at me because I despatch on a 250CC, ah but my bike does 90 MPG, can yours? So I'm the one who is laughing now.

I'm self employed which helps.

As for Mr Brown, fuck you!

Cost me 2.50 to fill up a 6RR out here, in the UK it costs something like 12 quid, f**king ridiculous.

Prices have been all over the place at the garage,

diesel is still over a quid a litre, and petrol is something like 98p, it as been £1 a litre before.

I'm spending £36 a day to commute to work, anyone fancy sharing a daily commute to London to share the costs, mad and manic ride but it's GREAT fun.
Best bit is, i get the fuel paid for on exspenses! Thumbs Up

you sure? , you are not supposed to be paid for commuting fuel , but fuel to be used to go to a non normal work place , so if you have to go out to a client you get paid 25p per mile or something , but nowt if you go into a fixed workplace.

Otherwise you get taxed on it as a BIK

I'm contracting atm, which means I can claim tax back on my commuting expenses (as well as sustenance allowance, and other 'sundry' items/services)

Garage in the village of Haxey had unleaded posted at £1.05.
Ok, I admit it's out in the middle of the sticks.
As a comparision the Jet garage just off the M18 had it at 94.9p.

Petrol stations around here (Nott's area) seem to dodge the £1 mark. It's quite funny seeing everyone selling diesel at 99.9 pence, while petrol slowly creeps up on it (between 94p and 98p).

Imagine how hauliers, taxi drivers, farmers, etc. feel.

There's bound to be protests at some point, for some of us fuel is just for hooning about the twisties, for others it seriously affects their livelihoods. Crying or Very sad

yeah well more demand = later peak oil if petrol = £1 a litre peak oil goes to 2075 instead of 2040 which is was before the prices went sky rocketting due to lots of other people making savings.

that said people might waste even more,

like the woman with the SUV across the road who can't drive (she has a lead foot and regulates her speed with the brake as its an auto).

or the presence of England flags , which per flag use 5-8% more petrol x2 = 10-16% , or that ridiculous one I saw today which had more than I could count on.
