@propaganda_spin SUNDERLAND fuel protest take place on Sat, Jan 22, at 10.30am at Roker Retail Park, near the Wheatsheaf pub.

Probably do no good but if we dont try to resist the ar** rape by the goverment we will never know!!?

 

What gets on my **** is electric isnt a green alternative considering how it's made ???
We pay more for it here than countries that don't own any oil fields it's a real small man or small company killer all this tax raise is......

 

Saturday????
What goods that Monday would be better!!!

 

In that case I think that this week should be national "Im calling in sick and staying at home and not using my car therefore dont need to fill up" for 7 days week.

The problem is this money has got to come from somewhere, fact. We have no choice if we want to live in this country but what makes it so bleedin painful is knowing that the 2 grizzly Brown Blairs are not facing civil prosecution for gross incompetence and putting us where we are now. They failed in spectacular fashion to rule this country with any ability and yet Brown kept hold of his position when he changed his mind about having a general election. He put his own selfishness before the countries needs and that should be considered treason. One that is still punishable by death I believe. Hmm maybe filling up wouldn't be so painful then.

By the way I dont actually support the death penalty but I do think he should be made accountable.

 

its about time we did something about it , other countries have cheap fuel , spain , usa etc !! protest time is aproaching !!!

 

Spain is fantastic for fuel, you just didnt care filling up. When I was there the exchange rate made it the equivalent of 50p / liter. I think it has gone up a bit more now but still no where near as bad. France is pretty high though.

 

Well this time last year I was putting 22ltrs of diesel in the astra for 24 quid, now its 22 ltrs of diesel for 30 quid and no, that aint v power diesel either!
That is how much fuel has gone up in the last 12 months

I will be walking around at work today with my pants down after I fill up this morning.

 

nothing will be done about it, its here to stay and go up fella...

 

130.9 at my local shell for v power this morning.

 

Don`t know when you last went to Spain, but these are the AA figures for Dec 2010. Nice to see the good old USA still using fuel like it will come out of the ground forever!

UK average for DECEMBER WAS 122.1(Unleaded) 126.2(Diesel)....so for unleaded we are 10th highest in Europe.


Bulgaria 96.01 99.91

 

It was just over a year ago, prices were beginning to rise as was the exchange rate but they must really be ranting over that.

 

2nd highest for diesel

 

see we are about the only country that charge more for diesel than unleaded

 

A lot of Europen countries have diesel cheaper than petrol. Once upon a time it was the same here...but that was when there were few diesel cars about!

Wonder why that could be?

 

Years ago diesel was cheaper than petrol and the excuse was that it was better for the enviroment

 

been paying 135.9 for ages now, was 141.9 in bristol last week

 

What are you all so worried about? Cameron said he would look at fuel prices and what he could do to help as part of the run up to the election. He won't let us down

 

Fuel is expensive, and it will only get more and more expensive. I don't understand people expecting a drop. They have to pump super heated steam into wells now, to push out the oil in the rock, its truly insane the lengths we go to for oil.
Especially as people think hydrogen is to expensive to use as a real alternative, people need to wake up and realise its the only alternative.
Electricity in cars is a fad, its expensive, inefficient and potentialaly wasteful, with more plastic and chemicals going in to large batteries, than have ever come out of the internal combustion engine.
It was mad panic yesterday at shell, I filled up with V at 130, gonna have to sell a kidney to pay for the next tank of fuel....

 

Of course he wont let us down!

 

E-Bay link for the kidney please

 

Reading in the paper yesterday the UK spend approx £75 million a day on fuel with government taking home £49 million of it !!!!

 

I was thinking of selling my Elise in the summer and getting a type uk sti. I'll not be doing this if fuel gets much dearer. The Elise gets 49 mpg on a run on NUL, and 99% of my driving is motorway commute.

 

Just filled up 133.9 VPower - about average from the sounds of things and only a 2p increase from before Christmas. The real problem here isn't the tax (for once) its the oil/energy companies constantly ramping up prices. Petrol has been going up for months and most are posting record profits in a recession. Of course this hits everything else we buy as well. Hows that in the 'national interest'?

 

Yeah, he said he "would end the war on the motorist". I will believe it when i see it !

 

But he's a lying two faced b@stard.

in Venezuela it cost less than 50p to fill 100litres

 

£1.45 a litre for V-Power down by me. Knowing the robbing b4stard that owns the garage it's probably £2.00 a litre now

 

It's in the job discription......
