Duty hasn't gone up either.

It has, but only a penny here, two pennies there.
Not by the 60p that petrol has climbed since 2008/2009.

Has since 2008 I'm sure
Plus VAT is charged on the whole lot so any increase is multiplied, a tax on a tax.

We should have more fuel protests
like back in the day.

Remember how bad it was when fuel hit one pound a litre?
Fuck's sake.

Not a driver, huh?

( Kroney, Tue 12 Mar 2013, 15:31, Reply)

Nope, and it's because it's expensive and I don't need to.

Yeah, but I want something with a V6 in it.

I want a 90 inch super HD LED TV
but I can't afford it, however I don't moan about it.
(PsychoChomp, Tue 12 Mar 2013, 15:35, Reply)

I do have to drive and I can't really afford that either.
Mostly because I'm paying nearly twice the amount at the pumps than I was five years ago, for no discernable reason.

We're not at peak oil, there is no shortage, the price per barrel is low and duty hasn't really increased enough to justify the price per litre on its own.

I have a tinfoil hat friends who says we are at peak oil.
Then again, he says some other really weird shit, so I tend to ignore him...

Depends on your source.
Peak oil is predicted somewhere between now and 2020.

The fuel protests were when it went over 80p
You'd kill your mother to get hold of fuel that price now.

Not mine.

My last car ran on LPG, it was brilliant filling up for less than £50 :)
Sadly, it broke down and caught fire a couple of weeks ago (not because of the LPG, I hasten to add)

When I first got mine in 2002
a tankful of diesel was £35.

I was working in London when I got my first car...
...and I used to fill up at an Esso station near Stratford, because it was only 59.9p per litre
