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

At the time I knew this would just be a de sensitisation exercise together the people used to higher prices.
So what happened the price came down again and the politicians basked in the "glory" that they worked wonders for the people to get the Price down again.
So the demonstrations and outcry stopped.

Now, we have petrol over £1.35 a liter and apart from a few huffs and puffs here and there, nothing is done its just tolerated and now just accepted.

I am fortunate to work in a country where we can at least claim tax back from the mileage we do to and from work, so I get a good rebate every year as my roundtrip is a good 120 km's.

In the UK you get sweet FA as a normal worker, and I truly sympathise.

Do you work at Hannover airport or just live in Hannover?

A serious subject raised yet again yet the children (thought half term had ended) start with the pictures and silly comments,there really are some smart arses on here

Those pictures are other, cheaper modes of transport. What were you expecting as a reply?

Travelling by train cheaper?? Maybe in India!!! £53.40 for a ONE DAY RETURN travel card from Kent to London with tube use!! FFS I could fly there cheaper than that!!!

My office round trip is 70miles a day, no train station or bus stop near to it so I have to drive. Thats 350 miles a week which is the best part of £60 at current rates - i dont have any other options to get to work and there is nothing closer to me to move to.

I have no choice, like a lot of people, but to put up with it - what can we possibly do to change things? The government pay no notice whatsoever.

I see what you're getting at, by the medium of capital letters and exclamation marks, there should have been a picture of a plane as well.

If I had a farm, I'd be tempted to to use the old red diesel. My Uncle in Ireland has a big storage tank behind his farm, for filling up the tractors. I think the shell tanker fills it up every 3 months.

Any farmers on blue moon? I have 50 english pounds waiting for you.

They are busy buying new Range Rovers with their latest EEC subsidy.
Or chasing a fucking fox halfway across the country.
Or having sex with their daughters.

They are getting fucking ridiculous up to £1.43 a litre now, when I bought my car two years ago it was only 90p, people will soon be going to work just to pay for fuel to get too work.

Its only going to get worse mate this time next year I really wouldn't be surprised if it was near £2 a litre. Its bloody crazy and people that don't care don't understand the knock on effect it has throughout the economy in driving the price of everything up.

Good arrows. Everything is transported to every corner of our country by road. Everything is made, shipped out, stored and shipped out again. The cost of hauling all this stuff about is proportional to the cost of how much it is to fuel the vehicles that carry it all about. And that is ultimately paid by everyone, whether you get the shit public transport or not. How long before electric cars are standard?

We were discussing this in the office last week, could well be the silent killer in our economy.

The last time gasoil was trading at these sort of numbers was back in 2008.
