they also admitted this morning that it could be a lot cheaper than what it is. panic and speculation is the main reason for the increases in prices.

Until there is a significant revenue for the Government to tax it more aggresively..... Watch diesel prices for evidence of this happening now there are vastly more Diesel cars on the road than 10 years ago.

En route from Immingham to Theftord today & yesterday i saw diesel for sale @ £1.25.9 a ltr on the A16 near Horncastle. Heard the oil co.s mega profits annnounced on the wireless but they said that profit came from drilling & exploration. We know our government are screwing us in fuel tax. Despite the rise in a barrel of crude oil we're the highest price in europe.   Discuss... No need  really, we know the answer. ::)

Why are they suddenly talking about £5 a gallon?

We've been buying it in litres for years. I have no idea how much a gallon of fuel costs these days.  >:(
