Diesel prices WTF!!

[SWP's back]

Why do driver's spout constant BS about it "costing less to drive" than get a bus?? Let's say a weekly ticket on GM buses is 12 a week. Over the course of a year, that would cost £624. That's say the average persons car insurance alone.

Add repairs, MOT, fuel, and don't forget the cost of your car and it's finance agreement if you have one...

Driving a car makes most people soft and turns them into snobs.

Some people go to places that buses can't get to.

We're paying for a welfare system that rewards people for not working

totally agree....the welfare system is out of control and genuine people who try and access it when they need help dont get it...but generations of families have made a career out of milking the welfare system....we have redefined what poverty means in the UK and need to address this balance but not at the expense of genuine vulnerable people..

You my good friend should be PM , My thoughts entirely .
Dont give lazy twats something for nothing and you will solve many problems in this country :)

Diesel on your average forecourt 2 years ago wasn't 90p

Believe me it was, I have a 90 litre tank and it used to cost me around £90-£100 to fill it. It now stands at £1.43, so either way at least a 40% increase.

To be honest the price for unleaded petrol on the 13th November 2007 was 90p (The day I got my license). Since then its constantly gone up and never been near those prices since. The price has dropped once or twice since then but never under the £1.10 mark. Even so in just over four years we've seen roughly a 52%+ increase in the price at the pumps.

Not wanting to cause friction here mate but it wasn't, we've been over that 100p/l for a while with a dip below it for only a short amount of time, maybe 3 years ago we may have been lucky with a supermarket price war and reached 90p.

Jan 2009 petrol was 87.0p per litre. ( average price) That is one hell of a rise in 3 years

I remember when the lifer of petrol hit the £1 a liter mark and there was a Public and media outcry and demonstrations etc.

I remember everyone going off mental when it hit £1 a gallon.
The price is only ever going one way. up. Remember David Cameron saying "they will be watching the oil companies like hawks with their pricing"?
Well hes watching alright, just not fucking doing anything!

Not likely to either while 65% of the price goes into government coffers fuels the golden goose he ain't going to kill it.
