    I'm similarly surprised that the price of pumpkins seem to rise towards the end of October.

    Indeed. People will willingly pay more per litre for coffee, coke and even water without complaining, yet moan about fuel prices.
    Not me. I buy 200g jars of Nescafe Gold Blend from the supermarkets(and only when they are on offer for £4.50). I don't bother with coffee elsewhere - waste of money.
    Coke(full sugar), I only buy when 1 litre bottles are on offer for a quid. When it comes to water, the only money I pay are the water rates. So I can complain about fuel prices with a clear conscience.:T
