Fuel prices

Options
It appears that UK is the only European country where the fuel prices are not related/ connected with the world market price, at least when it comes to reducing the price! It is very sad watching fuel prices only rising. I believe that people have the power to act and oppose to this one-way policies as well as boycott the fuel consumption.

    What a strange post. Boycott fuel consumption? Without my kerosene I'd be freezing. Literally!
    As for prices only rising, last year I bought fuel when the price dropped to 18 ppl.

    How do you explain prices going down as well as up then?

    It is very sad watching fuel prices only rising. 

    And I am sure you will be happy when they go down again.   Just as many of us were when oil prices dropped significantly last year.

     I believe that people have the power to act and oppose to this one-way policies as well as boycott the fuel consumption. 

    Absolutely you do.    Turn your heating and hot water off for winter and stop driving or taking public transport and enjoy your boycott.
