Against the Government?
There has to be a limit to your tolerance of unfair taxation?
Would you pay £2 a liter? £3?

At £2 per ltr us drivers need to just stop buying fuel end of, Thing is petrol is what makes Britain work,eat and play and I dont think unless a major news paper organises some form of protest anything will happen.
What can WE do ???

From a personal point of view I now get 55mpg - whereas I used to get 28mpg with the Scooby last June.
I can afford for it to reach £3:75 a Litre until it hurts as it did owning an Impreza.
Considering that the roads will be clear if it hits £5 a Litre, and I will still be buying it, I don't think I would want to protest so that the poor chavs can re-enter the world of driving and clogging the roads!
In short .... bring on £10 a Litre and I will be on my own on the roads, sounds GREAT to me!!

The way the Government is going by cutting the Police wages and Pensions and making Tens of Thousands of the military redundant and slashing the Pensions of the rest you wonder if they Police and army would intervene in a future fuel protests?
Oh and shutting prisons
in fact P*ssing off most of the criminal justice system

I don't think it would make any difference if it rose to £7 a litre as we have such a good public transport system you don't need cars! Buses run constantly and are dirt cheap and the drivers don't have attitude, trains are the cheapest thing since sliced bread and you don't have to change four times if you go to an obscure destination
The goverment wants us to use the above transport so obviously the rise in fuel won't push thier prices up

No one will do anything other than swallow what they are fed in this country. People were saying the same thing when it was less than a pund. I still need to get to work, whenever there is a shift in who gets money from what fuel, then we'll move on but it's only gonna get worse til then.

Id act now,if i felt in my heart people would follow and CONTINUE to protest.
My idea of how to protest,off the top of my head, would for everyone to drive 1 Mile from their house then Just STOP.
So its not too far to walk back home,phone work and say,gridlock,cant drive anywhere.
After a week or 2 of this,would be intersting to see what would happen

On a serious note, the British way will take over. We'll all moan, but considering we all have somewhere to go, we'll pretty much suck it up and unhappily get on with things.
