The lies about cheaper motor fuel this week

2sides2everystory

We haven't seen them drop at all Gordon, despite reduction in fuel duty.

When I left the UK a week ago, the highest price I'd seen in the last 2 weeks at any pump in the UK was £1.42.9.

While I was away, oil prices dropped, plus our fuel duty was also dropped and already I have seen £1.47.9 and I haven't been back 24 hours yet :mad:

We've been lied to by the government Osborne is just a uncaring self-aggrandising poseur - our latest queen of the soundbite.

Even if oil prices dropped, we wouldn't see prices at the pump drop significantly now that the government know we'll happily pay through the nose for it.

Indeed, the country is skint, so we keep being told, so don't expect any price drops.

Skint that is until it comes to being a world power and [STRIKE]spending[/STRIKE] wasting money on wars.

Skint when it comes to budget day, loaded when it comes to bumming America.

It was a cut in fuel duty - not the price of fuel. People can charge what they want - if you think its too high use another garage

What if you only have 2 garages within 10 miles and they are both the same, extortionate, price?

We have only 2 garages in our town. Both run by the same family. Nearest others are 17 miles away and 5p a litre cheaper.

I'd have a boot full of petrol cans to fill up just in case I passed one of those garages lol

It doesn't bother government ministers in their tax payer provided Jags /Range Rovers.

^^ Could be worse, could be Ludlow..... 1 town, 1 petrol station and the folks around there are mostly loaded (with debt no doubt). If I recall 2 years ago their petrol prices were nearly 20p a litre more than the next nearest petrol station 15 miles away.

My supermarket put petrol up by 5p a week ago. The govt has dropped it by 1p, so it is now 4p dearer than it was a week ago! 80p in the cost of a litre of petrol is govt tax!! BAH!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
