Fantastic - about bloody time!

What we are paying for fuel in the UK is a joke!

hopefully it might drop the fuel by a few pence a litre but i dont think anything much will be done by the government about it. the 1p they took off a few weeks ago only lasted about week before it went up again

thats crazy, they can definitely afford to drop the price by a bit. would be good if they werent so greedy and could cut some of the tax back a lil abit so it doesnt take up most of the price

I'd guess between 450 and 500 miles a week?

The focus can be a thirsty bugger!

Gary,

I do 70 miles a day just for work.

Take in a few trips to gym and then weekend driving there's the 100 quid.

Last time oil was $113 a barrel not so long ago petrol was about £1.32.9 or something?

Back to $113 and now we are at about £1.37.9
