It's a strange thing this ......
Everyone on here were up in arms when it went over £1 a litre .... people were going to blow up the houses of parliment, leave the country, blockade the refineries, sell up and moan until the world ends.
What happened? absolutely nothing ..... and here we are paying £1:10 commonly and still continue to bend over.

exactly Pete. The thing is though I think people are more accepting it because they're also worrying about rising council tax, rising food prices, rising energy bills, rising alcohol tax, rising tobacco tax.... basically people are losing the will to live.

We have hit the wall where we need to pay our way in the world, the party is over.
Think, for a moment, about those who are starving right at this moment .... they would dearly love the problem of whether to drive or not!
Nah, we must all start living within our means ..... and start paying for the destruction we are causing people around the world and to the future of the planet.
I'm just as cheesed off as the next person that I cannot have cheap food and cheap fuel, that my council want yet another arm and leg off me - but the excesses of yesterday need paying for now.

Don't say I didn't tell you:
In a previous post on this subject, I pointed out that the petrol companies, (who STILL insist they make no profit out of selling petrol), had been trying to force the price of petrol over £1 a litre for about three years, but public response had stopped them.
I went on to say: "Now it's gone over the £1 a litre with not so much as a whimper, watch the price take off and fly!".
I expect WELL over £1.25 a litre by next Christmas.
And Labour are almost DIRECTLY responsible with their support of Green taxes.................who TF DARES to complain now? If you do, you're shouted down and labelled an "eco-terrorist".

Some need a reality check here.
Hands up how many would/have spent £700 on a Re-map?
How many have spent £1000+ on other mods?
Both the above decrease the re-sale value of your car by about 33% Whats the cost of that?
We on another thread are talking about £1k for a FMIC which is a pointless purchase for most.
Then, the world is about to end because petrol may be £1:15 a litre rather than £1? ..... That's £0.68 a Gallon, based on 10,000 miles a year = £272 a year - not nice to have to pay it, but a tiny amount in relation to modifying costs (which reduce the mpg figure in any case!).

Not a problem with taxation just where does the money go from the taxation is it spent on improving the Uks roads or on alternative energy supplies or better public transport.
People wouldn't whinge as nmuch if they were getting something out of it but it seems,at the mo, we aren't

Was a joke mate. On 17's though and running 34 psi as all I do in my heap is trundle up and down the M1 to work. If I could get rid of the scoob for a TDi I would but the price has dropped out of the market and I'd rather the devil I know having owned the car for several years. I'm getting circa 26-27mpg
