I think you need to get out more.
Back to my original point & a lot of others. Fuel is extortionately overpriced & we as motorists are getting the p**s taken out of us. End of!


Come now, play nicely, what TT says rings true, but with the addition of it being a finite resource they will keep prices high to keep demand only slightly above supply, thereby ensuring they can drag out profit for the longest possible time (because if they can drag it out with constantly high prices it will maximise profit), remembering no-one who owns a car can go without fuel and so is stuck having to buy the fuel for it, thereby increasing the demand and therefore the price. Also, with it being a finite source the government is trying to have it's cake and eat it, by lying and saying we keep taxing people on fuel so fewer people will buy it and help save the earth, whilst at the same time saying contrarily thats it's not to stop people buying it but because the prices are increasing everywhere, they will then say.... it's to raise revenue for roads (which surely should be covered by road tax, yet this insufficient). Anyhoo, nuff said.

ATB,
Tom
