Seen it rise to recently. Its a joke they must have heard the public all saying until they bring fuel costs down the working people will never get the economy going again. I know there are many other reasons but it is an outgoing that keeps increasing for everybody and can also create unemployment as people may not be able o afford to get to work.

We need it we will pay for it, s**t happens and we can't generally do f**k all about it. As mentioned earlier in Euroland it costs more and their standard of living/incomes are generally less. We haven't got it all that bad tbh.

If you can't afford it buy a bike.

Or work closer to home. We've got used to cheap car travel over the yearsand many of us are working 50 odd miles away from home. I can see it returning to the times when you lived locally,and worked locally.

We should do what the French do but the vast majority over here are too scared to strike/roit.

Fuel prices wouldn't matter if the peoples earnings went up too but at this rate the people at the bottom are going to really struggle, increased ulility bills, price of living is beginning to take the P***, dropping the VAT back to 15% again would help, or at least be a start but it's highly unlikely.
