Angry JUST PAID 89.9 FOR OPTIMAX IN BRAIDWOOD, WHERE'S IT GOING TO STOP ?

I just paid 89.9 at the shell petrol station in braidwood, what a fu**in rip off , where's it going to stop.

I also put in octane booster which costs even more.

Its a nightmare,

Any other owners in the area , saw a blue bugeye when i was in paying (grudgingly )for the petrol

Getting a bit of a joke with the pricing.

Every other week theres another wee penny on a litre - fairly mounts up!

88.9 @ Kincardine, that was over a week ago. They are the first I believe to burst 90.

The £5 gallon of fuel is on its way!!

I'll tell who we should blame!



That guy called 'Gordon Brown' , he should switch tactics of taxation from fuel to something like this..



In sweden if you are caught speeding they fine on how much you earn.. am sure that would bring the amount of tax down a bit on fuel over here with all these camera's over here..

D8UGF,

I sold the white scoob about a month ago, bought a Jdm sti version 8 2003, the difference is night and day.

Have you changed your car ?

I nearly choked @ 89.9 in Kincardine last night. It cost something like £46 to fill up. I remember the days when it was a struggle to get £40 in.......

Just paid 87.9 at Lizzie Brice in Livingston - £49 for 55 litres Soon be £50 a week in fuel for me

At least it's good to know that all the fuel TAX is being directed back into local public transport and road improvements
