Amazing that NZ, who have to import all their oil/petrol/diesel can still sell it at 70p/litre.
(Jan 2010). Mind you, their road maintenance and roads are poor.

The Government could easily cut the duty to help people out 'in this time of austerity...........'
They are great at cutting things, it's second nature; education, NHS, Social Security........ They just don't care, it's always about 'the bigger picture' Just what is this bigger picture? Has anyone other than those at the top actually seen it? I seriously doubt it..........

As I have said elsewere, a "free" market is not "free" (in a legal definition it is free, but not in a moral sense,correct??) "YOU" are restricted by your "democratically" elected government,but "YOU" have supported this arrangement through voting or tacitly,yes??
The UK isnt on its own when it comes to high fuel prices,yes?
No,in a "democracy" the individual should not decide how much pollution they produce.Fuel Tax is an excellent way of controlling pollution/fuel price,if it isn't society would object,correct??
I dont know of anyone (with authority) who would argue that oil is NOT harmful to the environment,but an outright ban WOULD massively affect the economy and society (how would you get food to the supermarkets,the lack of revenue,which affects jobs, which the governments need for health,education,police,etc?????),best to TAX those who can afford to pay it,correct???
Thank you for your intelligent questions, at least some c*nt on here doesn't kiss ***.

132.9p a litre at Shell near Madjeski Stadium - scandalous even at 124.9p for 95RON, but at the moment the 8p premium for VPower is just so extra-irritating.

Why not remap for 95. I have read a few threads where people have done this and have said that if it actually mapped for it there is no discernible difference in power.

If the students protest, then I don't see why motorists don't do something also. Its worth remembering that its just not us lucky people with sports cars thats being screwed, its normal families trying to make a living driving to work, taking kids to school, self employed running companies etc. Pretty much everyone somewhere is being screwed over so an organised protest would probably be quite popular if organised properly with the right message and facts behind it.
