Same round here too, A Texaco garage I pass to and from work was £1.10 in the morning and when I came home was £1.12. :o
When's it going to stop??!! >:( >:(
-
It won't stop now that they have broken that £1.00 a litre barrier the prices are just going to rise. Now 94p per litre dosen't sound that bad and it was that less than a year ago. We are all being conned by the government and oil companies >:(

I've decided yesterday that my car will be up for sale in october, in favour of a dirt cheap to run high MPG hatchback with cheap tax, probably something like a corsa 1.0 eco on an 04 plate, (£35 a year tax and 58 mpg)
-
unfortunately i may be in the same boat soon :'(.
-
i'll miss my car, a hell of alot, but i'm looking to get a house, was gonna keep mine alot longer since it'll avoid the extreme tax hike for 10 months after march 2009, but i think if i sell in october when my insurance is due to change, i'll have 2 years no claims to insure a dirt cheap practically self-maintaining 3 cylinder corsa, and i should still manage to get a tidy sum for my low mileage 2001 3.0 LPG elite

How much will a petrol noddy car cost to run versus your Elite?

How much will a petrol noddy car cost to run versus your Elite?
an actual noddy car, not sure :D the corsa i have in mind, purchase price about £3000, fuel will be about £20 a week and work out more efficient than my LPG elite, insurance will drop by more than half, and tax will be about £160 a year cheaper, then upto £400 cheaper when it increases!!
not to mention the unbelievably cheap maintainence costs of the hairdryer engine it has!!

I have the lowest fuel bills at work - no one is getting over 40mpg average all the time

I needed fuel on way home tonight on m25.Decided Clacket Lane would be pricey as always so pulled of on A22 at South Godstone and found a Shell station.Normal unleaded was £1=10.9 so decided to only put £20 in a drive very slowly home.
This is now getting bloody serious.

See what you think and pass it on if you agree with it i know its long
Petrol is hitting 110p a litre in some areas now; soon we will be faced with paying £1.50+ a ltr. Philip Hollsworth offered this good idea:
This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the 'don't buy petrol on a certain day' campaign that was going around last April or May! The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to hurt ourselves by refusing to buy petrol. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them. BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can really work.
Please read it and join in!
Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a litre is CHEAP, we need to take an aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS, not sellers, control the market place.
With the price of petrol going up more each day, we consumers need to take action. The only way we are going to see the price of petrol come down is if we hit someone in the pocket by not purchasing their Petrol! And we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves. Here's the idea:
For the rest of this year DON'T purchase ANY petrol from the two biggest oil companies (which now are one), ESSO and BP.
If they are not selling any petrol, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit. But to have an impact we need to reach literally millions of Esso and BP petrol buyers. It's really simple to do!!
Now, don't wimp out on me at this point... Keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!
I am sending this note to a lot of people. If each of you send I t to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300)... And those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000) ... And so on, by the time the
Message reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers! If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have
Been contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it... ..
THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!
Again, all You have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all. (and not buy at ESSO/BP) How long would all that take? If each of us sends this email out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!! Acting together we can make a difference If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on.
PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE 69p a LITRE RANGE
It's easy to make this happen. Just forward this email, and buy your petrol at Shell, Asda,Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrisons, Jet etc. I.e. Boycott BP and Esso.
-
Wise words,but I did buy at Shell tonight and it was more expensive than the BP garage along the road from me,trouble was I needed fuel and felt it would be more than a motorway service station.
Why don,t all same named garages charge the same then your plan might work,at the moment it is a lottery as to how much an individual can charge ?
-
A boycott won't work. I suspect the majority of fuel is burnt by company reps who have fuel cards. I've travelled with them. They pull in wherever the light comes on. Why would they care about the price of fuel?
