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.

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.

Probably cause it wont do anything. Just look at how uneffective the student protests have been.
