I think with the election just around the corner the goverment would have to do something if everyone started kicking off about the price

I think there should ber another protest like most drivers did them years ago when the prices were hitting £0.90p !!

At the weekend I went past a few garages @ £1.19p, my local is £1.15p (the average as per http://www.petrolprices.com/ )

Then LPG is getting expensive now i noticed the other day..

They will find a way of slowing putting everything up... Didn't diesel use to be cheaper than petrol back in the day?
With the demand they slowly start shooting everything up.

You don't have to wait for the budget - there is already a 3p litre raise due to come in on the 1st of April from last years budget.
A treasury quote " Fuel duty increases are an important part of the deficit reduction plan as well as supporting the goverment's environmental agenda"
So that's the bankers bonus and MP's expenses sorted:(

Whilst conveniently failing to mention that when they cut VAT at the end of 2008 they put a fuel duty rise to cover it, but when VAT rose again at the end of 2009 they didn't rescind the rise...:zx11:

It's a bloody joke... I mean did the 15% lower VAT rate even help anyone? I very much doubt it.

I am fed up with politics... I am sure the Tories will not improve anything if they come along either... It just seems that once again its the motorists that gets stung.

we went wild when they used to put 3p on a GALLON:zx11:
now of course,it's 3p on a LITRE;)
+ the vat on the 3p;)
mind as long as we all just sit here moaning among ourselves,
it will continue, regardless of who's in power.
they will blame the previous government for the price rising so fast,and so often, but they will not bring it down. it will only drop when the price of oil drops,( lets hope),
