Wont make any difference mate, the two parties are closer in policies than they've ever been, Nu Labour are in reality no better than the Tories from the late 80's early 90's.
If anybody thinks anything will change with a different party in charge you're dreaming.
The only thing that would possibly change anything is a mass strike or refinery picketing like before, only thing is those things are classed as acts of terrorism now, so you could be in some serious shit.

Plenty of garages near me charging over £1.30 a litre now, read in the paper it'll be £1.50/ltr by the end of the year! Getting ridiculous now, my work van's never been so bad on fuel lol!

not surprising when you consider a $1 on the oil price adds approx 1 pence to litre of fuel, but with a lead time of 3 to 4 weeks .
so expect plenty more increases .

All I can say is thank fuck I don't pay for my fuel
Company pays for it ![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
but it is a fucking joke! if it continues rising much more, the company will most likely refuse us the right to use the vans for personal use (we pay the company £20 a month "contribution to running costs" which basically means £20 worth of fuel, but most of us now use more than that a month cos of prices) which means I'm fucked, will have to buy a car, pay road tax, fuel, MoT, running costs etc... Can't afford it

we have been manipulated and conned,you buy a new economical diesel they take a slice of the money you pay for that,you did it to reduce your fuel bill, so they put the price of that up.It is all about fleecing the working man.Every time money changes hands they take a large slice.If you followed a pound around as it was spent by each person eventually as a slice is taken each time it is spent there would be 1 p left and guess who had had the rest

I went down to Eastbourne several weeks ago and gave it a bit of a blat down the motorway. Got as far as Brighton (20 miles from eastbourne) and ended up running on fumes so pulled into the first petrol station - 129.9!!! So only put a tenner in. Got to Eastbourne, and it was 119.9! 20 mile difference, 10p cheaper lol.
It is a joke.
Diesel's gone up about 40p in the last 8 months! I bought my focus 8 months ago thinking it'd be more economical than my petrol car... and i remember diesel being about 94p a litre.
