Petrol Prices Going Up Again!!

sassy_one

£6 a gallon as from New Year - time for me to look at perhaps digging my own oil and then selling it, seems where all the money is, as they know people need it!

O wait, that's just the point here, they are holding each and every one of use drivers to there prices, what a great ideal - bet Government love cars and the higher the CO the better!!!!!!

I hope Mr Cameron is going to be paying the £6 a gallon and not using tax payers money, after all we need cut backs, cuts cuts cuts

Meh who cares. The cost of living is less now than it was 20 years ago when fuel was cheaper.

If people really wanted cheaper fuel they would get a cashback credit card and start saving a few pence a litre instantly but no one seems to care about that.

Or trade your land rover in for a nissan micra.

Fuel is expensive but flat screen tellys have never been so cheap. Ying Yang. Potato Potato.

Problem is, Mr Camel knows that most us need our cars, unlike flat screen televisions.
So he will keep putting the price up on things that most people need and buy and drop the price on stuff that isn't sold by a huge mass.

Petrol should be going down in price with all the electric cars on the road now, but no, keep putting it up.

A plan might be, for the first say 20 litres a week, you get each litre at 99p or so, then after that the cost goes up to the current, this way the people who just use there cars to go to work and shopping will be left unaffected, and just the richer people will need to worry which won't affect them, but no, hit the poorer OAP who can't afford it!

All the electric cars one the road ?! What, all 12 of them.

Electric cars are mostly powered by natural gas, the cost of which is linked to oil.

Aren't electric cars exempt from that non existent road tax ? They'll have to recover that from petrol tax, (all £15 quid of it!) :rotfl:

Every road you turn is blocked.... (or a toll road!)

What are you prepared to give up? What extra taxes are you prepared to pay to make up the short fall?

This is the crux of the debate that non of the "fuel campaigners" are prepared to discuss. The Road Haulage Association can compare our fuel duty rates with those in Belgium as much as they want. What they won't wish to compare however is our rate of corporation tax to the one in Belgium, where they have a pretty sweet deal by comparison.

This is what I was trying to point out. While in opposition the tories were making a big play out of labour screwing the motorist by putting up fuel duty but now that they are in you hardly hear anything from the tabloids about protests or rip off britain.
It was the CONservatives whointroduced the fuel tax escalator so why were they bleating so much about from 1997 to 2010?

Because all the tabloids are tory press. They made a big deal of calling Labour while in government and now that the CONs are in, they can't say a bad word about them.
