I know that petrol is going up but!!!!!!!

[CJ CERAMICS]

coming home from work last night i passed my local petrol station which is only about 400 metres from my house and thought shall i fill up....nah i will do it in the morning as i just wanted to sit down with the paper and a cuppa....petrol was £1.13 per litre. Set off for work this morning at 7.30....pulled into petrol station and guess what petrol now £1.14 per litre. typical i thought and filled up. Got to work and realised i had left the silicone in the garage so i had to go back home luckily job is only 5 mins from my house. Drove home at about 9.30 after prepping bath to accept sealent had to go past the petrol station again and i could not believe my eyes petrol is now £1.15 per litre. so god knows how much it will be by the end of the week. May have to get a bank loan to fill up for next weeks work.

[united]

I think we should start a fuel protest again

[enduro]

The trouble is with this country we all moan about it but nothing happens...

[Scott]

Id protest as i missed the last one as i was travelling. Lucky really as i had an american camper with a 6.6litre chevy engine 8 MPG on a good day

[Scott]

That because we are just the little people. If we all protested they'd act on it and then let it creep up again thinking we wouldnt notice. They'll only tax us on something else anyway.

there is an abandoned garage between Sadberge and Stockton on the A66 ( Dave will know where it is ) that is stuck in a time warp from the last time fuel prices went through the roof , iirc the price was 129.9 / litre

[trevortine]

Drives me nuts, been runnin back and forth to Edinburgh recently and spendin a fortune on fuel, I remember bein driven back from hospital about 12 years ago after havin a disc removed from my back and diesel was 42p a litre, happy days then, part from the row of stiches at the bottom of my spine!

I'm glad school run is only a 400m walk for me

I do, on the right hand side as you go to stocton.. been empty years..

There is a thread on here somewhere about fuel hitting £1.20 odd a litre.

[doug boardley]

it was £1.35 here a couple of years ago (diesel)

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

by Rights we should pass the price increase on to the customer,but in this climate that's not going to happen,
i bet the suppliers will pass it on to us though!!!

no , thats the old ivanhoe garage iirc , its the one on the other side , on the left as you go towards stockton next to the curry house , you were in the right area though

[Dave]

AHH right.. didn't know it had shut.. shows how long since i drove past it....

[Fred]

So, are you going to vote Labour..........

[Classic Ceramic]

i think a fuel protest is for the best!!!!

[Daz]

I've got a job that is 40 miles from home next week. I've already agreed with the customer that he is gonna get billed big for the fuel costs. I had a call today for another job that is at the periphery of my travel area so will factor fuel charges into that job too . It's the only way to be sure of staying on business, IMO.

Hmm, just came back from Egypt... the fuel prices there are much cheaper.... BUT at a minimum wage of around £5 an hour in the UK it would take around 15 minutes work for 1 ltr, agreed? At Egypt wages, and that on a teacher's wage at that, it takes 2 whole hours to buy 1 ltr. Would you like to swap? Shouldn't think so... it ain't so bad here, really...really...

[Rob Z]

How much tax is built in to that ~1.20 pounds per liter?

I need to check and see how much federal and state tax there is on a gallon of gas.
