One thing's for sure.........it NEVER goes down!! >:( :'(

Around here its about 104.9 unleaded or 109.9 for super unleaded.


That be a first if it did but they wont do that they are money grabbing buggers if know what i mean bob ::)

I know exactly what you mean Maria, the one thing this government IS good at.............TAXATION!! >:(

Over half of the cost of 1 litre of fuel is bloody duty. >:(

Yup. If we didn't pay it on fuel, they'd stick on sumat else  :-/
We elect the arses that rip us off.  :-[ :-[ :-[

Don't wanna start a political debate on here ::), but I certainly never voted for this bunch of tos*ers that "run" the country at the moment.

I'm with you matey  :y :y

I've stopped watching the news, after yest, because of an article they ran aboout someone that lives in Birmingham supplying the Taliban with funds etc, but claiming £20,000 a year in benefits.
That was the last straw for me  >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

To give you some perspective, 12 months ago (Feb 2007),
US Crude was $60 a barrel.

Today it was ......................$99 a barrel.

That's approx a 66% increase in 12 months.

You can expect inflation to increase everything now.
Transportation costs will effect the price of all other goods,
including food, and energy bills.

Because of the current credit crunch in worldwide banking,
governments around the global are printing money like
fornicating rabbits. They need inflation to reduce the value
of the debt, not the mathematical expression of it. Similar
to how inflation, over decades, shrinks the value of the
mortgage you pay.
A £20,000 mortgage, 20 years ago, seems tiddly today, doesn't
it? Even though the mathematical expression of it (£20,000) is
the same.

Expect a lot more pain yet, in the price of everything.  :(
