how the hell do they justify chargin hearly 1.50 a litre.

a fair few garages charge that sort of amount in central london i dont see how they get away with it


Supply and demand Millwall.  Some (idiots!!) are obviously paying it as those stations are obviously making enough sales for them to justify it, and their bottom line must be healthy!! ::) ::)

How right you are!  It reminds me that there is a garage I pass just outside Goudhurst in Kent that sells classic cars along with fuel.  Often has E-Types, Aston Martins, the odd Rolls Royce, Range Rover, with other classics, sitting on the forecourt for sale.   Their unleaded was at 1.25.9 per litre many weeks ago!! ::) ::)

petrol has just gone up round here, its 116.9,

how the hell do they justify chargin hearly 1.50 a litre.

also why the hell do we (britain) get charged so much for petrol from the pumps when its only 45pence a litre to produce, we are the highest taxed country for petrol and its not rite, its a f*****g disgrace, i started dring 7 years ago petrol was at 63pence a litre, so in 7 years its doubled in price, i know my wages haven't doubled in price, neither has anythin else so why do the govenment feel the need to tax us so heavily when we all pay road tax, income tax, insurance premium tax, vat.  its not rite, how the hell can the govenment and country be in so much debt when 85pence out of every litre that is bought goes into there pot, what the f**k they doin with the money, part from  buyin bird tables and employin there children as cleaners etc etc etc
They need the money to pay for things that they should close down - NHS, public transport, most of the benefit system

Its one of those its acceptable to tax, and the tree-huggers love so-called green taxes...

The Irish bail out is good for the UK (not so great for Ireland).

coming through london yesterday i went past a garage they are charging  138.4 for unleaded and  146.1 for diesel

'kin 'ell - shouldnt this be investigated? sounds like market manipulation price fixing to me. I'd love to open a garage in London, charge £1 a litre and make money off charcoal, porn and fags  8-)


sorry its London......make money off of jellied eels, man-bags and over-priced coffees  :y
