£1.40 a litre

By April fuel economists are saying.
Well, £1.40 for diesel, £1.36 for Petrol, average price across the UK.
That's getting slightly worrying. Especially for those living in more rural areas.
Will the UK be able to cope with these high prices? It has a knock on effect to pretty much everything.
Couldn't quite believe it when it cost me £74 to fill up the car a couple of days ago. At £1.40 a litre, I'd be over £80. For a standard diesel car.
Higher rents, higher food prices, higher transport costs, higher electric / gas costs, all well exceeding inflation.
Somethings gonna give? I'm just wondering what, when, and how bad it will be.

I've had to stop using the "pay at pump" option because it only covers you for £60 and I need a bigger fill than that now. So not only do you have to pay more, you have to queue to pay more:mad:.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

I started car sharing this year, petrol needs to double before I'm worse off. I#m also swapping my petrol for a diesel in a few months.

I had a car with a 70L tank at the last 08 peak I think I remember breaching £90 for a tank.

Petrol could be 2 pounds a litre and people still wouldn't give up their cars- people could build their lives around not needing a car, but they prefer not to, and so the govt is right to screw them over big time.0
