The crises in the Middle East are of course a golden opportunity for the profiteers to increase the price of oil up to the heights they could only have imagined in their dreams!
This is coupled of course with the large extra take that the Government will achieve from the VAT payable on the increased price of fuel at the pumps.
We cannot expect to avoid an extra cost due to the price increase of a barrel of oil, but if the government takes the opportunity to rake in all that extra vat without decreasing the fuel tax, then it deserves full and heavy castigation to be remembered at the next election.

Historically they all love the "soak the motorist" bit.
It will be interesting if this lot will be able to resist it, having already agreed that the motorist has been an easy target.

but i do agree something has to be done,yet nothing will.There is only one direction the fuel prices will go,and i think in 5 years time diesel will be almost twice the price of regular unleaded as the government will target the motorists that are getting more miles to the gallon.Time to move to Oz

Stand up and be counted - your Scooby needs you!
Signed up and have emailed everyone in my contacts list to do the same, we need to start standing up for ourselves, rather than accepting every crappy thing the government expects us too, i can see a revolt coming on

The prices are spiralling out of control. I just paid £1.41.9 a litre for ordinary unleaded, at a supermarket.

Meanwhile oil has dropped in the last four weeks on average from around 113 USD a barrel to around 100 USD. So why is the price still going up? What happened to Osbourne's pledge? And more to the point why is NO ONE in a position to do so, i.e. the opposition or the media, saying anything about it to the lying ****!!!
Something needs to be done, we are being priced off the road
I've emailed Number 10 twice, about house heating oil prices and motor fuel. Surprise, surprise, not even a reply

As I paid, I actually had a whinge about it. She said they were the cheapest by 2p of the supermarkets in the area.

It seems everywhere around me has dropped the price over the last week or so.

I've just found a receipt from the same garage, 29/04/2011 £1.36.9
Two weeks ago, it was dearer, and now again. I thought the North East was supposed to be cheaper !
BTW, where does the .9 come from

**** eh? Still can't take a joke I see. Let's face it, you're the only person in the country who thinks petrol has gone down probably because of your political persuasion so why don't you GFY you moron!

Ok, so it's not gone down?
Here's the latest email from Petrol Prices.com -
http://www.petrolprices.com/members/?search=ng12+5fe
Read it and weep, sucker.
(if it doesn't work for you just put in the postcode NG12 5FE, which is my old one - I still live in the NG12 postal code area)

The clue is in the the URL ... it says m e m b e r s ... just a small hint that it might not be a public link
Petrol here is 134.9, 4 weeks ago it was 134.9. 134.9 minus 134.9 = zero which is not a decrease!!!

See my edit that I added 1 minute before your post, you *****.
I'm not surprised you haven't seen a decrease - you're a Northern monkey and petrol companies hate you.
HTH.
It says "Morrisons Gamston - Unleaded £1.32.9"
And WTF has my 'political persuasion' got to do with anything?
I don't have one, as I don't a religious one before you start on that old chesnut.

Look let me make this simple for you as it seems I have to to actually get through to you.
4 weeks ago oil was 113USD a barrel and petrol was 134.9 (here). It then rose to 135.9 and has gone back to 134.9, but in that time the oil price has dropped to 100 USD a barrel and with no significant change in the exchange rates petrol should have come down.
Your hero Osbourne promised he was going to watch the petrol companies like a hawk (his words, not mine) and yet here we being royally shafted!!!

Ok, I'll make this simple for you too.
I COULDN'T CARE LESS HOW MUCH PETROL COSTS!
If YOU can't afford it then don't drive.
IF you CAN afford it then just shut the **** up moaning. You can't change it.
And oil traded yesterday at $115 per barrel.

No it didn't. Brent Crude may have done, but the average oil price was a smidge over 100USD. I expect you know that though... more politicking on your part!!!
