Fuel prices still creeping up

[obi_waynne]

I filled up last week and paid £1.53 for a litre of standard unleaded petrol!

This is really getting to be a joke! Surely these high fuel prices through taxation are not sustainable?

Is there anything we as the general public can do?

Prices will always go up, fuel is no different to any other commodity.

Blimey Waynne £1.53 for standard :amazed: so far BP Ultimate is still £1.49.9 and that's here in the metropolis! These garages are getting ever more cheeky :sad2:

I have a question....

Whats the main difference between red diesel ( as to way its so cheap per litre ) and standard/pump diesel? Other then the colour?

But I have paid around £100 a month for my diesel.... its criminal, my mum says " I remember when petrol was £1 or something to the litre! )

The fuel is the same. The excise duty and taxes on heating fuel (the red one) are a lot less hence the price difference.

£1 a litre? When I started buying petrol it was 33p a gallon!

It is also illegal to use on british highways. Correct?

It is outrageous, and in the not too distant future all of the petrol station staff will serve you at the counter wearing bandit masks.
