Default I just paid £56 for a tank of fuel!!! 109.9 a litre!!!!

I can not beleive how much fuel is.

I can't understand why the lorry drivers aren't up in arms as much as they were last time fuel went over the £1 mark.

Scooby memebers of the UK unite and lets have some pre-arranged strict speed limit driving on the M25

Seriously though something needs to be done.

yeah if i knew how to organise a protest i would do it. need the truckers to get it going they can make the biggest impact. I have email the prime minister to express my disgust at the fuel prices and the amount they take on tax, Also the way that they rip us off in ways like this and expect people to just take it

Blimey, quick to say its too expensive but happy to pay for it. You're hardly sending the right signals to the government!
Yes its expensive but bloody hell, when will you guys realise that moaning about it will not bring the price down. Get a diesel, or do less driving.

the price rise in petrol recently is ****in redicules,(spellin ) but the answer is dont go to work according to that guy, nice one .or atleast untill i buy a cheaper to run car, but the point is'nt how much it costs to drive a sports car, its the amount that fuel has risen in a short period of time .
about 8p a litre here in a month ,that really is taking the ****,but realisticly what can i do about it?
