£100 barrier broken

[USER1999]

Flipping heck. First time ever.

 

[bobmac]

Have you just filled you car up?

 

[USER1999]

Yes.

£103.56.

Which will last me for about 9 days tops.

 

[Smiffy]

Are you in Amsterdam????

 

[bobmac]

Yes.

£103.56.

Which will last me for about 9 days tops.

I only guessed as I was about to post this picture taken at the weekend...

 

[GuitarRich]

I hit £96 last week - lasted me 5 days! £50 in on Monday, gotta fill up today too! too many miles to work!

 

[JT77]

It's a joke, Lucky for me I only use about fifty to sixty quid a month, but the wife uses about 100 quid or more in the family car, it gas to stop somewhere, but I can't see it!!

 

[Shaunmg]

Are you in Amsterdam????

Don't talk silly, it's only 50; err! or so I've been told

 

[Ethan]

I have an 80 litre diesel tank in my car, so I break £100 quite often. get about 550 miles between refills, usually.

 

[Imurg]

Getting through about 70 quids worth a week at the moment.
Thank God for 60mpg...

When we had the lorries demonstrating back in 2000, it was 75 p a litre.
Jan 2009 85 p
Jan 2010 £1.10
Jan 2011 £1.25
Jan 2012 £1.35 and rising

 

[golfsaint]

get the trucks back out demonstrating again thats what i say !!, and its the budget today ! is that another 3p on a litre

 

[AmandaJR]

We were just saying yesterday how it has crept up and up and yet no real protests as we had when it was much lower.

Makes me feel happier about changing my 2.0 Sport MX5 for a 1.4 diesel Mito which is way more economic and £30 to tax!

75p, that sounds like heaven right now!...heck even 85p would be nice..or £1.

I've got a 70 litre tank which costs nearly a tonne to fill, I'm sure next time I fill right from empty it will push it over £100. Really sad state of affairs.

 

[USER1999]

In China it is still 75p a litre.

Why do they get to polute the world at cost, whilst we pay an environmental tax, apparently, which gets spent on what exactly?

 

[JustOne]

The price will just keep going up, the government needs the revenue, the more economical the cars - the more fuel will cost. Simple economics. If we had cars that did 1000 miles per litre do you think the government would be happy us only paying £1.50 for that and filling up for 75p once per week?

 

[oakey22]

Didn't the government bring a new law in after they did that protest with the lorrys to stop it happening again?

 

[Andy]

343 litre tank. Burn at least half a day.

Ouch

My theory is the government is doing a backhand tax deal with the haulage and transport firms. Why else are we getting shafted with a 25 inch dildo and no one seems to be complaining at a higher level than public moans????


If this was France there would be riots and strikes left right and centre. We are the laughing stock of the world the way we bend over and take it right up the whoopsie!


:sbox:

 

[Region3]

I use V-Power and it was the dearest I've ever seen it yesterday. 146.9p

55 litre tank = £80.80 = 400 miles!
