Same here, not like it's a cost many can avoid. In the grand scheme of things it saves about £2.50 a month for me.

It needs to go down to £0.87 to £0.95 a litre as of 2008/9 as that was when I last had a pay rise.

Look here for how much it has gone up and up and up
http://www.petrolprices.com/the-price-of-fuel.html

I'm not that old but can remember when it was sold in gallons and can remember paying £1.59 a gallon in 1988/89, that is £0.35 per litre !

I can remember when the first Gulf War started and fuel went up to about £2.15 a gallon and I thought that was extortionate but I would love it to be that price now.
