How much extra are you paying for fuel?
« on: June 29, 2022, 07:21:22 pm »
It's costing me around an extra £50 a month in diesel for my van(to heat my water and driving about)but I was talking to a gardener today and he said it's costing him an extra £300 a month to run his van and mowers,etc... :o

It must be a lot worse for delivery /taxi drivers! ::)roll

We are lucky to be window cleaners! :)
price higher/work harder!

Not sure but at 2 quid a litre and a van that does 30 mpg ill only get around 165 miles out of £50 worth.

Thats pretty shocking.

About 50 quid extra a month I reckon
Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go

No idea,

But 80l so it’s costing me around £150 per fill.

Usually get a months worth of work done on one tank.

They could sort this tomorrow.
I think about half of the cost goes in Tax.
I also think this is all part of the grand scheme to force us out of our vehicles.
This Net Zero c**p is crippling the economy, we produce 1% of global emissions.
The eco zealots will drive us back to the stone age.

I reckon if the world cut emissions to 1%, it'd be ok. So we should be allowed to carry on emitting and the rest of the world should stop. Is that right?
I mean, we were the first to start emitting and they are just copying off of us.
They should get back on their bikes and just let us get on with it.
*Cough cough*.

If there is actually a 'global warming crisis' as they claim, the solution is not CO2 reduction and certainly not electric vehicles.
You have to drive about 300,000 miles to offset the Carbon used in the manufacture of a EV but you won't do it on one battery.
The Earth has been here for billions of years and will continue to be here for billions of more years.
The simple solution is for humans to stop breeding at the current unsustainable rate and the problem will solve itself in 1-2 generations, after all you never see animals driving or using gas and electricity!

You do know the global population is in decline?
