Default petrol prices

Texaco petrol station by us is charging..106.9 for unleaded and 112.9 for diesel , and motorists are still using it, must have more money than sense, and the Chancellor is putting it up again soon, we really need a change of Government I think.

Last year i bought a diesel car, to fill it up cost £38.00 one year on to fill it up cost £55. All for the privilage of driving mainly to work and back.

This goverment are supposed to be for the working man but once they got there snouts in the trough it was up yours jack were all right.

When this government came into power John Prescott said he wanted all drivers to drive diesel cars, now we see why.

I think a large part to the diesil increase's was the diesil storage plant in Hemel Hempstead burning down, we seem to pay for that kind of disaster for ever, and of course with every increase everyone down the line adds on there bit

The petrol at the garage has been the same price for years without change where i go!!! its £10 a week! LOL.Suppose i will know it has gone up when i run out 100yards after pulling away from the forecourt! until then i wont bother looking at the price,its the first sign of being a grumpy old fart! As we say in the black country,"yowve gorrer av it ay ya!"

Fullers earth does the job (cat litter)

but its an excise thing and the fines are hefty in most cases prision

Used Chip oil for the win

I spend in excess of 300 pounds a week on Diesel every penny increase is starting to hurt, I have thought about bio fuls and even gas conversions but there is no real cost effective alternative, either the Government have to change their ways or I will eventually be forced out of business.

Our government are very quick to promote London transport ( this is a London thing or even the national transport system but it doesnt really exist for the UK's small business's

I think its time for a change but would the Cons do any better or infact any of them ? sadly New Labour is really old Labour and they won't be happy untill we are back to the 99% tax they once set in motion.
