PETROL - filled up this morning... not again?

I went to the fuel station this morning and to my disbelief..

£1.13.9 / l for 95 octane

This is gettin bad.

119.9p/l for V-Power this morning for me, it'll only go up more I expect.

there is a petrol station in blackpool at 121.9! But most places around where i am is 117.9

its not good

I paid 125.9 for BP ultimate when we stopped off on the way back from Japfest

I'm jealous! 132.9 I was forced to pay for regular diesel yesterday, I felt like I was handing my credit card to a mugger when I went in to pay!

I really wish I went for the petrol 5 series now, as the I am sure that the extra fuel economy I get from the diesel is going to be outweighed by the extra cost of filling it up.

...and I have two diesels as my run-arounds - the price of that is worse! Diesel is fast becoming the non-economic choice now

I like the idea of boycotting certain garages for a time though - ie, don't buy BP fuel for a month. Trouble is you need most of the country to do it to make a difference.

I found an old receipt the other day from just over a year ago - 93.9p for V-Power, 30p rise in just over a year??WTF

If it continues to rise like this I'm gonna buy a Horse! They can only appreciate!

We could still drive in style!....those electronic dumpvalves could come in handy!

I remember paying ~60p. In my Model-T, back when all this were nowt but fields, etc. etc.

Fuel prices are rising, house prices are rising, mortgage rates are rising, cost of living is just generally going up - and are my wages rising? Pffft.

Petrol is currently going up 1.5p a WEEK!!!!!!!!!

I've decided I'm going to buy a tanker full of deisel and sell it a year later, I'll be rich rich rich!!!!!!!!!!!!

So will it ever come back down?

So will it ever come back down?

Doubt it very much

I very much doubt it.

Course not, us mugs are paying it - why would they drop it?

My next vehicle purchase is going to be a scooter. I'll just use the car when I can afford to run it! Crazy !

House prices rising ?

this country!!! I work hard, live by the rules, pay my way, pay all the taxes, and they just continue to sting us even more! Bunch of capitalists.

House prices rising ?

I sold my flat for about 15K less than it was valued at, but it did go on the same day it was marketed. Some friends of mine have had to drop their asking price by £40K, within a year to sell theirs, and their flat was larger than mine, but it sold for less!

I'm getting off this housing market train for a while, and am going to try to enjoy the village of Renting to see how it pans out.

Sad but true

Fuel costs basicly govern the cost of everything else so if they go up everything else will follow, apart from houses !!

Welcome to poverty rock

According to reports this morning fuel prices are expected to increase steadily over the next 8 years. Some analysts reckon £2/litre for unleaded by 2014 which will mean diesel will have gone over £10/gallon....

will an N/A run on cooking oil:bang:

its a f#'king joke if you ask me, think its about time something was done big time now! other countrys would not stand for it, we the people make this piece of crap country run, so if we really wanted change we could make it happen. think of it this way, theres alot more of us little people than any police or whatever, it up to us to get it sorted if you ask me

Everybody will just work from home. That's what I try to do as much as possible now, but it gets boring and it's so easy to waste time and not get a proper amount done (he says.. posting on the mkivsupra.net forums )
