Ultrastu Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 Yep .it's set to go up to around £2.50 a ltr I've been driving my van very carefully and have managed to get it from 37 mpg to around 45 mpg .average on my daily run . That's a big performance increase that helps somewhat the rising cost . Also I try not to make any unnecessary journeys. 7 minutes ago, strimmer_13 said: 1.75 white, 1.19 red here. ****s hitting the fan Red is gonna be very limited in where u can use it soon .

39TDS Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 Doesn't appear to be any less cars on the road yet, which surprised me. It will bite before long and I think a great many people are going to suffer quite a bit. Wait until their electric bills start coming in. My direct debit payments have gone from £36/month to £136/month for the same usage and they are set to rise again in October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) It would be a lovely gesture by our government, if they would cut the excise duty they get for oil/petrol/diesel, and give it back to the motorist!

Vince Green Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 My regular trip from London to Cornwall and back will be getting close to £200 in fuel now but I can do it on the train for about £35 each way, so its a no brainer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much nicer to sit on a train drink a coffee or two and read the paper or a decent book. Nice journey that one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice journey that one too. Since covid hit and my normal flights to/from work were reduced drastically. I’ve taken more train journeys to London than I have in my whole life. First few times were sort of an adventure. Soon became monotonous with frequent cancellations, delays, rail replacement services and then the tube strike last week really was the icing on the cake. Hopefully flights will resume up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
