Just put £100 diesel in the van at Tesco.
It was £95 last week.
Getting a joke.

Thats all really!

[steve.ternent]

  There really is nothing to add to that, is there? 

[Dean Taberner]

Its a P*** take!!!

[windowwashers]

I tested it the other day I used to put in £10 a day per car  because I got a paper and lunch at the same time as did the others, now costs my £15 odd per van/car not that I ever put in £10 now a days but you get my point  as it dont last a day, it is getting a joke I agree.

I saw an interview on sky news this morning with an ex oil broker,he said that prices should come down but he also went on to say that if you pay £1.30 for a liter of deisel 80p of that is tax and vat,the problem is not oil prices it`s a greedy labour government.

I expect my next fill up to go over £100 too for the first time ever.  I paid £86 last time but I hadn't let it run down too low.

The French President Sarkozy is putting forward a motion  to the EC that VAT is removed from fuel in France -  I think he is sugesting that it is removed for the entire European Community - Three guesses that Britain wont follow that idea.

Fuel costs are much lower in mainland Europe anyway, the oil companies obviously charge the same it is our money grabbing Government that adds more and more tax.
The big difference is the ordinary Fench people will take action whilst we just accept it

Has anyone considered Bio-diesel or vegetable oil?
I'm told in the UK if you use less than 2500 litres a year you are exempt from all tax's and duties??

Pity Irish legislation doesn't allow it,... I've an endless supply of free oil from local chippers,... and filtering it is childs play.

According to a motor company spokes person
it can damage the fuel pumps in diesel engines

[pingu]

Telboy...that statement is partially wrong..he should have said some pumps...

Dave...

I have been using biodiesel for 2 years now....

[Nathanael Jones]

Once you've a Lucas pump it should be fine. If you haven't, its a relatively small job to change it. I know a few guys using new oil and mixing it 50/50 with diesel and they've had no problems at all.

[Scrimble]

small job to change a diesel pump? your having a laugh aint you?

you mugs keep filling up with your diesel hahahaha my van gets filled up with LPG 47p litre

i only spend about £25 a week! lol

[Neil271052]

I fill up my Nissan Z22 diesel  pick up once a month when it is still at 1/4 at a cost of about £60.

The trick is to get your round all  on your doorstep so no miles to travel especially at fuel prices now.

its been a long time since fuel in uk was that cheap at least 10 years ago

[Ian Rochester]

Just received last months fuel account........... £1410. !!!!

Costs us £87 to fill the big vans now, used to be about £60, even my car costs £57 to fill , last year I couldn't get £40 in.

Just added minimum of £1.00 to the majority of our window properties over the last month to cover the rising costs.

Plenty of people commented on the rise, but we just told them it was due to rising fuel prices and they've all accepted it.

Wish I could run the vans on rain water, we seem to be getting plenty of that at the moment, never stopped here all day.

This issue has been going on for a long time now,it really is time the general public stood up for itself and said "Enough is enough", this country is being taxed to death, fuel tax, vat insurance tax, booze tax ,tobacco tax, next thing there will be a tax on tax and vat itself. Don't get me wrong I'm not objecting to paying tax if its fair, but its not. What do we get in return for such high taxation? SOD ALL, I've been on the sick for 6 weeks due to injury and all I'm getting is less than £70 p/w as ,my wife works p/t they take into account her wage , which is nowt. How the hell are we supposed to pay the bills put food on the table on that much?  Rant over ,sorry but this really gets to me

[sjm]

I know things are getting a bit tighter , but we have to put things in perspective . There are 1 BILLION people on the earth who will have woken up today , not having any food to feed themeselves or there children !  We might have to cancel the film channel , or leave the second car in the garage for a bit .
