The rest of Europe doesn't have it as good as some might think

Look at the equivalent price in America (40p/l) and listen to how often they moan about the high price of Gas.

Well done Winky and Darling.
Add 4p in tax, then screw the exchange rate so the barrels of oil cost more in dollars...
Then add on 15% VAT for good measure...

I'm using my 5% discount card to keep it below £1 ,but come on gordon,

Just in time for the summer holiday period !!

Same as last year.

The oil market anticipates a rise in demand over the summer for america also hence the price is bid up before it even occurs


If the stockmarkets become gloomy again and people realise the gdp of major consumers like america will not turn positive this year then the price of oil will probably drop back, but its not going to be $30 a barrel long term imo

Why dont we car drivers do something this time instead of leaving it all to the haulage industry?
Because....
....at the end of the day, we're all positively screwed.
Due to the state the countrys already in, there will be no cut in fuel duty. All we'd do is end up on an anti-terrorism charge and a criminal record.
