dustyfox Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 (edited) And next year the government are wanting to put an extra tax charge on cars that are made before 2006. Now for somebody on a low income and has probably got a second hand car I think that is kind of unfair. What next will they charge people for?

al4x Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Non road fuels ( kero / central heating fuel / red ) are chemically marked and will show up on a road side dip anyone here actually been dipped though? If you stay away from farmers markets the odds are pretty low in a non commercial vehicle. I run a courier company and have done for 8 years I've not been dipped or had any of my drivers dipped in that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fallowbuck Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Yes the government could be doing more to help and will be seen to do so ,as they will be on a hiding to nothing otherwise. However, as critical as I am of them , you simply cannot blame them for the actions of OPEC in refusing to increase their production of oil. This would immediately have a effect on the world price. They also tried this in the early 70's and it nearly came to hostilities between the West and the Arab nations! Also unscrupulous Stock Market traders are buying up huge amounts of oil and artificially inflating the price! This is a far more complex issue than it first appears. The western nations have to put extreme pressure on the oil producing countries to allow more oil production and penalise these carpet bagging traders who are making peoples lives a misery.

larson Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 this is a copy of a mail i received today on the petrolprices subject Petrol prices >>>>>>. -------Original Message------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- See what you think and pass it on if you agree with it We are hitting £123.9 a litre for petrol in some areas now, soon we will be faced with paying £2.00 a ltr. Philip Hollsworth offered this good idea: This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the 'don't buy petrol on a certain day campaign that was going around last April or May! The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to hurt ourselves by refusing to buy petrol. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them. BUT,whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can really work. Please read it and join in! Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a litre is CHEAP, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the market place not sellers. With the price of petrol going up more each day, we consumers need to take action. The only way we are going to see the price of petrol come down is if we hit someone in the pocket by not purchasing their Petrol! And we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves. Here's the idea: For the rest of this year DON'T purchase ANY petrol from the two biggest oil companies (which now are one), ESSO and BP. If they are not selling any petrol, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit. But to have an impact we need to reach literally millions of Esso and BP petrol buyers. It's really simple to do!! Now, don't wimp out at this point... keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!! I am sending this note to a lot of people. If each of you send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300)... and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000) ... and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers! If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!! Again, all You have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all.(and not buy at ESSO/BP) How long would all that take? If each of us sends this email out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8days!!! Acting together we can make a difference . If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on. PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE 69p a LITRE RANGE It's easy to make this happen. Just forward this email, and buy your petrol at Shell, Asda,Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrisons Jet etc. i.e. boycott BP and Esso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
