I paid £50 for the first time EVER to fill the car up last night, it was only the FUCKING Rover aswell! 
I stopped at £50 on the nose regardless of whether it was full or not, that's disgusting!
It was normal unleaded too btw!

OCD Victim
My 4be hasn't moved for over 2 weeks due to this.
People in work used to laugh when I picked up my new daily driver (899c Fiat Cinquecento), but suddenly they are all complaining about how it costs them a fortune to drive to work and then they have to park miles away, yet I can now drive to work for less than £20 per month (instead of £60) and can park almost outside work as the car is so small it fits in gaps that the others can't (most of them drive M3s, RS's, etc...)

Big deal, it doesnt matter what it goes up to no one will stop using fuel so just shut up & put up
Typical Brits moaning about things but never doing anything about it, you want to take a look at how the French react when they aint happy about things & yet we slate them for having no back bone

LPG Smart Car - it's the way forward
It's times like these I'm glad I don't have my own car and can use my work van without paying for the fuel! Sure I get ripped by the government on the tax thing they imposed this year, but I would anyway, so at least I do't have to fork out for fuel!!!!

£1.12 yesterday at some little country lane garage, asked for a tenners worth (yes one of those attended places), If he had took a piss in the tank it would have shown more on the guage.

Couldn't agree more, we all sit on here or email the BBC and bitch elsewhere but we all do fuck all, happy to sit on the sofa come the end of the day.
Gordon brown is a Scottish twat cunt prick who we never elected and we should get the dick out. I hope we go to war with Scotland too whilst we are at it, NUKE the fuck out of them.
Be better than going to war with Iraq when its not even our issue. (Tony why didn't you think on)

be honest, no ones going to do fuck all about it until soemone starts the ball rolling and seeing as it's gone up by roughly 10% in a matter of weeks soemthing has got to be done
but no one in government will do fuck all while they are earning gazillions of £ from us poor fuckwit motorists

Would not make a difference who the PM was Gordon Brown , David Cameron whoever. The days of cheap fuel are over and more to the point we as a nation are known to put up with are lot and take it up the wrong un from the Government.
£1.30-£1.40 are litre within 12 months i reckon going off recent price rises

Its 1.20 a litre over here. Its been that price across Europe for a few years. As long as we keep buying it it'll keep going up in price. When it hits $100 a barrell we'll all be fooked. The yanks need to rob more oil from the arabs me thinks!!

i dont think its that bad if you compare it to the cost of drinks etc etc
but i think they need to raise the prices in u.s.a and the like as there by far the biggist gas guzzlers. i dont think its all completly to do with tax's etc as petrol must be running out in the near future so if they raise the price's most people will try and cut down on the petrol useage, there for it will last longer.
thats why i belive that the whole world needs a rise in petrol prices
