Jesus fucking titty christ. I am so living in at college next year as this fuel price is making it harder and harder to justify driving the 70miles I do each day just on ALG benefits.

Think I need to get me a job too.

Surely there must be something we can do about this, but what. They're just charging what they like now.

Well I'm complaining! It's just a complete and utter ripoff. The government are taking far too much in tax from it and the petrol companies are now just profiteering because they know people need it.

A couple of guys from scoobynet started a thread a while back wanting to make a protest against the current fuel price rise trend.
They now have over 200 names on the protest of people who

are going to turn up and protest against the rise on fuel (car mainly)

One of the guys then made a web site with this protest in mind and now has 254 people joining in total.

Please pass this around if you feel that the public shouldnt be ripped off anymore and you want to do something about it,although if you do put your name down please turn up on the day as specified,this being Saturday 19th July 2008
http://fuelandtaxprotest.mfbiz.com/

cheers
steve.

Problem is now you only get 16 litres for £20 and then you got more like 22!

254 people?

put a decimal place after the 25 and add million at the end.

They might get someone to listen then

Perhaps...........

Currently around 12.5% of my takehome pay goes on just putting diesel in my car, let alone paying for repairs and servicing etc.

£1.25 average for diesel around Derby. Whats even more worrying, is that if you think its bad now, wait till its at £1.50 a litre which is predicted for the next year!

Well, imagine my shock yesterday, Shell in Wooton Bassett, Wiltshire, on Sunday night as I drove past was 124.9p a litre of derv, yesterday was 130.9 .... How the fuck can they justify that???? 5p rise in 4 days ..

They are just being cunts now, it has risen over 10p since the budget, they are just pushing to see how much people will put up with, profiteering cunts. And there has been a reduction in oil prices according to the news.
