I had to put 107.9 in yesterday too and i was gutted!

A few months ago i was paying around 95p/l, so thats 10p more a litre! So im losing around £3-£5 per DAY, so that means im about £60-£100 a month out of pocket compared to a couple of months ago!

I think it was around 90p-93p round here too at the start of the year.

When i work out how much this rise is costing me it really pisses me off! Im giving them stupid amounts of money every month on fuel duty as it is, without shelling out even more every month!

There is a place near me at a roundabout in the middle of nowhere charging 113.9 for a litre of normal diesel and 108.9 for normal unleaded, Robbing bastards I do 600 miles per week just for work and its a fucking joke, I have to drive my 406 hdi steady eddie style to get any decent economy

This is getting beyond the joke now

Even tho I have the power and luxury to cruise along at 90mph in the BMW 530d, I find myself with the cruise control on at 60mph to save fuel

Its not that I cannot affoard to fuel the car, I choose to drive like this out of principle - Why the fuck should I pump more fuel into the car to feed the government coffers

I did a bit of that today in an old cavalier td that Ive just got to use while by other car has bodywork, Its an isuzu 1.7 td, Mixed it with normal diesel, Loved it, 105.9 for the diesel and 49 p for a litre of oil from my local Lidl,.Works out to 77.5 a litre Mixed together

Less chance of getting stopped than using cherryade also

On site fuel stations are always expensive though, I remember at silverstone once, They were about 20p a litre more than the local garages

A quote from the comments on Times Online,

I intend to write to Gordon Brown just to let him know that, each time I drive into or past a petrol station posting prices at or above £1 a litre, it is a reminder to me not to vote New Labour. And should he delay the election in the hope that we all forget about this, there's another increase coming next year and the year after - so I know I won' t forget.

You should hae put the diesel in, and driven off.

If the plod catch up with you later, your reason for leaving without paying should be:

I thought they were having a laugh at my expense, so I had one at theirs

Or "Me no speak English"
