What is going on with fuel prices and why nas no one started rioting yet? Eh? EH? Where them miserable truckers at, block that A1! Petrol, £1.36 per L.....! :evil:

I'm thoroughly pi$$ed off to now be having to fill up at the wrong old price of over 80p per litre! T'was only 65ppl a few months ago! Grrrrrrrr....

I've actually met Chris n shook his hand. This fact is still causing slight issues in my trouser dept.... :wink:

Didn't they outlaw that after the last time?

But yeah... petrol prices are silly. I don't remember it being 65p a litre recently though - or are you on about diesel? And 80p a litre?! I wish I could get petrol for that.

I run on LPG, hence the pricing quotes of 65/80p...... Petrol itself hasn't been 65ppl since the late 80's!

I put £70 in the Mondeo last Tuesday, that didn't fill it up. I then had to refuel on Friday, another £78, that did fill it, and I am already down to half a tank! I didn't really go anywhere over the weekend, but had a long drive yesterday. The cost of petrol has gone up, but the amount I can claim back hasn't. It's still 14p per mile. It won't be long until the 14p doesn't cover it! It's crazy money.

At least you get to claim something back!

Yeah, I suppose the more I spend on fuel the slightly additional tax relief i'll get, but still, i'm sure i'll still end up hundreds of £s down....

True and it does help, but I get that back at the start of the next month, or when my boss gets around to approving my expenses, but I still have to outlay it in the first place. My boss is understanding though, he has lets me fill up occasionally on the company credit card, and he turns a blind eye to that, also I have started putting down a few more miles than I actually do. Every little helps as they say,

That's because the Lorry Drivers & Farmer's haven't got the ump yet, they must have got a good deal last time round, I remember when they protested because it got to £1.01, either that or neither of them can be asked to protest any more?

Many HGV drivers are owner-drivers so any price hike comes out of there top line figure, this is also especially relevant to van drivers.

Guy goes into a petrol station and says "Can I get a KitKat Chunky"?

The woman goes and gets him a KitKat Chunky.

When she hands it over, the guy say's "What's wrong with you? I said I wanted a KitKat, ya fat cow!".

That's my contribution to this conversation.
