IMHO I think Optimax is pretty good value! I have tended to find it is only about 2ppl more expensive than the 95RON rubbish (at least in my area). Well worth the extra £1 or so per tank for 98.6RON fuel . Last time I filled up it was 80.9p. Apparently Oxfordshire like MK is one of the most expensive areas for fuel in the UK. God knows why, was up home in the NE of Scotland and it averaged 5ppl cheaper and thats miles away from anywhere. Transport costs my @rse the fuel companies are having a laugh!

Z,

Price for Optimax at the Shell stations at Bleak Hall, and the one a Stacey Bushes are 82.9 and 83.9. The prices went up on Sunday or Monday I think.

Never forget that our glorious leader Tony B Liar is taking more than 75% of it[img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Where are the fuel protesters when you need them? What was the trigger for the last fuel crisis, 80p per litre. Were almost there folks, hold onto your hats!
War in Iraq, firestrikes, fuel crisis, NI increases in April, the Govt is in for a rough old time.

Those were the days eh! These days even when you go on a shopping trip you have to factor in the fuel cost, as most of the big shops and shopping centres are "Out Of Town". The price per litre here is going up on a daily basis....not long til £2 per litre And the Americans moan about paying $4 per gallon, thats only £2 odd, where as we pay over £5.40

Had my hopes up when i initially read the title

I bet it'll hit that this year let alone 5 years time. In 5 years time the only ones that can afford to drive will be the overpaid polititions

And the rest mate. The other day I read that on a litre of diesel the government takes a fcking massive £1.10. The price per barrel is a smoke screen for the huge taxes...

I'm sure its not as high as £1.10 of tax per litre of diesel, but its close to £1.

You are so right about the high price of oil being used as an excuse. They have kept taxes at the same percentage of total fuel costs...apart from when prices have dipped. Saying tax is the same percentage is no defence.

Quite simply we have a government that is anti car, and under they are voted out and replaced with a government that is pro car things will just not get better. With the right government transportation costs could be halved.

if one of the partys running for govement dropped prices to a pound and 80 p for diesel and said that the vat was capped for 5 years they would be in power why dont they realise this most people need fuel to go to work work keeps us in the money which means we can spend so there for keep others in work if fuel keeps going up and its not preductive to work we stop making money and there for dont spend which leed s to others not being needed at work and so it goes on major market crash
just stop being greedy electic will never work as its worse for enviroment than good old petrol as most power stations that make electricity are nuke and coal burning
come on lower the price or stop sitting on alternatives like alcohol ethernol etc power to the people rant over lol

dan83590

We are now in the governments catch 22. The taxes have all been calculated and spent plus a bit more, which they have borrowed. If tax were lowered on fuel they'd have to take it from elsewhere. There will not be a noticed reduction in fuel duty, there can't be. It's a huge **** up.

At what price do you think we as a Nation will stand up and tell the government they're taking the pi$$.
There where strikes and protest all over the country the first time it hit £1 yet that is now a distant memory. There are not even rumors of future protests let alone actual people taking part in them.

dan83590

Who knows what the answer is, if there is one? IMO the underlying cause of the high price is government's high spending on things that haemorrhage money. War, DWP, CSA etc etc etc. Not just the present government either. All have been the same. A huge snowball of burning run away cash flow...!

A 550 mile round trip to London and Surrey from Yorkshire yesterday cost me around £130 in V power and Tesco 99. If I used my ten year old Fiesta for the same trip it would be less than half that amount. I'm self employed so going to have to start using the Fiesta more for long work trips and hope it doesn't break down. Otherwise I can't afford/justify keeping the Scoob. Agree with above that Government have totally cocked up their spending and no way will we see a reduction in fuel duty, Darling just can't afford it. What a mess!

damn 80p a litre, can only dream of that now.
I just paid £1.22 for V power.
Why the f**k does it go up EVERY week????
I thought its not going up again till autumn???

martyrobertsdj

iTrader: (1)

Fuel duty not going up til Autumn IIRC, but as a barrel of oil goes up, the actual cost of the petrol (not the duty) does too.

Always baffles me how (for example) BP actually own the oil, BP refine the oil, BP manufacture the petrol, BP sell the petrol, but BP also say that petrol has gone up due to the price of oil going up..........

......So.........BP make money on the raw product, yet still charge more for the refined product, even though the whole chain is owned and operated by themselves......how the **** is that???

Herbie.

we were complaining then and still complaining now LOL
