Bah.

Hydrogen/Electric cars plz

What country are you from? In the US people went mad when it went up to 40 cent per litre. Here is is around £1.10 a litre and that's about $2.20.

You can't lower duty when the economy is suffering, the government will just make the tax back in another way.

and yes they can. there was a report in the times the other day, since the high price of oil is making more vat then normal/predicted, and with petrol been so dear atm, this again is getting more vat for the government (and yes it is a piss take the it gets taxed twice). they could afford to knock off 12.5p a litre, for the rest of the year. and still meet there target for taxes

In Sydney petrol has reached an average of about $1.60 per litre, they are predicating $2 per litre by the end of the year…

I used to be able to fill my little 4 cylinder Honda Civic with $30 about a year ago now $50 doesn’t fill the tank…

@ absortion: 1.10 pounds per litre, wow that’s expensive, although I think the average wage in England is a lot higher than here, still though that’s harsh…

BTW, where the hell is the little pound symbol on my keyboard

Abs, you do live round some cheap petrol stations, round here its £1.20/30 for petrol and £1.40/50 for diesel, and there's a strike atm for diesel, no diesel anywhere

Let's invest in a MsgPlus Oil Refinery to provide cheap petrol for MsgPlus users!
