Browning Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Not sure what it's like in your neck of the woods, but I queud for 25 minutes to fill up the car last night at Tesco's. The jerk in front of me started unloading Jerry cans to fill up. Getting towards the £1 per litre mark is just ridiculous, maybe this website is the answer. I'm off to get my credit card out before everyone jumps on the bandwagon. Cheaper Fuel :( :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNAKEBITE Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Must be idiot season again. Can't have the mother walking 2 minutes to school with little johnnie now can we? Or what about that 200 yd trip to the paper shop on a Sunday? How are they going to manage that without a car. Keep the journeys in a car ESSENTIAL. This obvously varies from person to person. You use less fuel. Therefore you buy less fuel, and the oil companies then become competetive. Bingo cheaper petrol. Oh and if the oil companies are making less money then the government WILL cut tax. They have to, their seats on various quangos within the oil companies depend on it. Bunch of theiving back stabbing ******S, to a man (or woman). There is no such thing as an honest politician. Just one who's price is too high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 I think this is where most people get confused, its not the Oil Companies fault for our overpriced fuel, it the governments taxing policy that casuses the problem. If the tax proportion was removed we would save over 70%! Axe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilishdave Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Fuel companies are not the real criminals here. The real criminals are the idiots that voted the labour government back in to power. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the oil price goes up they IMMEDIATLEY increase the price instead of using the stockpiled oil at the lower price THEN putting it up. Then when it goes down again they are VERY slow in bringing it down again, if indeed they do. Hows that for unfair? They have us over a barrell (pardon the pun) ******** ALL OF 'EM. :< :< :< Right down there with kiddie fiddlers on the social scale as far as I'm concerned.

tenbears10 Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 The government mean we have the highest fuel prices in Europe but oil companies are getting their fair share. I saw an interview on the news where an economist was saying it wasn't the oil companies fault that the price of oil is so high. The interviewer pointed out that they are making record profits at the moment and her reply was that they are just lucky. It is simple if the government dropped the duty a little and the oil companies made a bit less profit the price could go down to 90p or even 85p they would both still be making BILLIONS of pounds a year. Like everyone else says worthless ******s the lot of them. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilishdave Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 I wont ever be happy until it gets back to the right side of 60p per litre and even then I think they are getting an over generouse profit and tax. When I was in Cyprus 5 years ago I was getting diesel at 14p per litre!!! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
