Gentlemen, I am shocked. We should not be congratualting ourselves on paying 99.9p per litre or £4.50 per gallon for petrol.

I was chuffed to bits the other day when I found a place at 98.9p and then realised what I was saying to myself. As Miggy said the other day, we will continue to pay the price as we have no alternative. I am lucky to be a low mileage driver and it still costs me £100 per month to run my car. I guess that means I'm now paying about £70 in tax. How some of you can afford to be paying that per week, mainly to get to work, is beyond me.

Cos it's cheaper than the bus

I agree.  But, in order to enjoy travel in the mode I would like to remain accustomed, I am forced to pay the going rate to avoid the Exciseman chappin' at my door with a tax demand......    If I can save a few pennies meantime and stay on the legal side of life, then thats it.....

GB i agree, but that is what it has come to, once the price got above £1 a litre and there was no uproar i did not expect to see it drop back.

the real celebration would be seeing it wind back to 85p per litre, that would make things more tolerable.

my monthly petrol spend used to be about £400   shocking i know but i would rather have my business pay that than do 25,000 miles per year in some high revving tinbox or repmobile.

Yesterday I paid 101.9 at Tesco, 10 quid in the tank and the computer thought i stopped for a pee!!!!!! 25 miles available before and after acording to the computer ( took 10 mins for it to register the splash in the tank)!!!!!

I think the government needs a wee reminder. The politicians dont care because we pay for their petrol. If you know of and or are a member of any other car, bus (Scumbus.com is a laugh by the way, not mine), truck or taxi forum we need to get together and protest the price of fuel.

I remember when it was 50p per litre 10 years ago ish due to Price wars!!

Why do we pay so much TAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no joke, i have just filled up and paid 99.9p per litre:y

anyone in the epsom/sutton area, there is a texaco on the A217 heading out to the M25, you can't miss it as there is a queue outside

garage on the other side of the road is dead.....can't understand why???

It's 102.9 by me
I'm sorry but if you take an average of 60 litres to fill up this makes £1.80 difference
I cant be bothered to queue to save £1.80.
Fuel prices need cutting by 10p/litre

You've got too much money then...
