Wait until this incompetant greedy spendthrift government gets there 3p/litre in the budget!
Save with Dave....I think I'd sooner Drown with Brown!

And as far as Dave "I'll say anything to get elected" Cameron, I'm worried that he said he wasn't aware of Lord Ashcroft being a non-dom until a month ago.
He must be the only person in the UK that doesn't read the papers or watch / listen to the news. Perhaps he wasn't present when the matter was raised in Commons. He'll make a great PM I don't think!

It's estimated that when all the costs to the economy of car use are added up, each car is SUBSIDISED to the tune of £2-3,000 pa. Even with current fuel duty.
.
More to the point - how else is the government going to 'persuade' you to drive less? What's it going to take to get you out of your cars onto public & other transport? I bet the people complaining about fuel costs here are the same ones who despise congestion but won't even consider using a bus.

The other day I travelled over 30 miles for the cost of a bowl of cornflakes - on my bike!

If you live in an area where buses and trains ran frequently, and the prices were realistic..more people would use public transport.

Sainsbury's at Talbot Heath, Alder Rd, as of yesterday is £113.9 for both Diesel and Unleaded. Why when the barrell is at its lowest for some time, our government agrees on fuel price rises, and then adds another 3p per litre as 1st April. Roll on May. This will make it aroun £5.30 a gallon, and I suspect that nearly £4 of that is all levies and taxes.
