£1.13 this is taking the pee now

Petrol, i know they say dont buy a soop if your bothered about paying for fuel but £1.13 a ltr come on thats rediculas

Every week i go to fill up, the price seems to go up. I went to southend last week and the price was about 10p less than where i live.

It's a fooking joke! My company pays me 12p per mile for business mileage and it's getting to the stage where working is costing me money!!

H.

they are surposed to pay you 42ppm

they are surposed to pay you 42ppm

Not if they own the car mate!! I only pay tax on the car and have opted out of the expensed fuel this year......

I am still better off as I don't drive the car that much privately and the £60 saving a month on tax easily covers what I would spend on private mileage!

I would just like somebody to explain why all the prices have gone up!!

H.

i was talking to the guy at the station and he was saying its only going to go up more they recon 5p over the next month or so, time for strikes and boycots i think

I was toying with the idea of catching the bus to work, recording the shambles that ensues and writing an article for the paper, uploading vid to YouTube etc. Just to prove the point that public transport is pathetic and we're left with no alternative but to use our cars.

Something to try and raise some more understanding of how crap the alternatives are.

Surely we could raise some kind of go slow Supra meet that would get some media attention?

from where i live to where i work is 4 miles, there is 6 busses in any 24 hours.

Neo,

Have you tried petrolprices.com?

You have to register to find Super Unleaded. PM me your postcode and I'll have a look if you don't want to.

What a great idea!! I'd be up for that. I was going to go to the last protests but a huge sense of apathy overwhelmed me!!

Now I have my own car and I'm paying for my own fuel I don't mind a bit of anarchy!!

Right, that's two lanes of the motorway blocked!

I'm quite serious. It's getting f'kins stupid now.

Is a protest from owners of gas-guzzlers a bit daft?

If it was 'normal' cars then the media would see it as 'mr. average takes a stand'. From sports car owners I think we'd fail to get the required sympathy.

It's not as if we have to drive these cars.

Good point Martin!! I just want to cause some havoc tbh!!

My local Shell have finally raised their V-Power price. It was 99.9 last Thursday and went up to 105.9 in one jump!

I thought of that. The other side of this is that we're all club members. We love our cars. We love the lifestyle. This isn't a green issue.

We've always accepted that we have to pay a bit more for fuel, but these latest increases are threatening all that.

As for sympathy, I think every drive on the road will have sympathy as we're all in the same boat.

If you want to get noticed we need about 50 cars, arrange it in private and drive direct to Downing Street without announcement, park up and then all walk off.

That'll make the news without fail.

What's the justification from the government again? Something to do with the war still or is it every little spat they have with the Middle East causes profit seeking? What was the boundary between protesting and terrorism too? Didn't someone on here say that blocking refineries etc is now considered an act of terrorism

It'll also get 50 cars impounded.

Hmmm.. I don't really mind buying a shitter for cash. We could do like a Top Gear special. No need to put it in your name especially? Not sure how that works on insurance though.

You have 100 pounds to buy a legal car, drive it down to London and leave outside the PMs house.

do you trust them with your car? cause they would lift it and charge you lots of cash to get it back - its a parking attendants dream come true.

also a convoy of supes would only make it a few miles before someone needs more petrol!!

Its time we stoped talking and acted

Lets do something copy and post on as many forums as possiable

no need just bring the M25 M1 etc too a stand still just crawl at 5 mile an hour

You'd be banged up as a potential terrorist before you even got chance to lock the car.

In fact they are probably reading this now and getting the cells ready.

*waves*

Buy a shitter, drive it straight there and dump it.

Illegal but hell, ordinary people do fucked up things when fucked things become ordinary.

Wouldn't 5mph be faster than usual on most parts of the M25?

I just steal petrol out of the neighbours cars at night
