The price of petrol

[Kamikaze]

Admittedly there is a fundamental flaw my plan. Overhead lines would be a problem…lol

My M8s in bahraine and boasting £20 to fill his car from empety I was £100 for the van (transporter) the otherday

well those private jets for the executive bankers and hookie businessmen (oil n arms dealers) do cost 26.5 million pounds each, oh and the big rollers cost a million pounds each with their gold plated grilles and bumpers, and get 6 miles to the gallon....then theres the 24/7 armed security gaurds to keep people like us from going UUhhhMMMMM and licking the roller windows....LOL

we here in this place are just getting it g*g b*ll and all and the rest of the world are laughing their tts off, we are being shafted by people who just shake hands with the taxman and get off a 80million pound tax bill....and the banks that pay nil tax on 20 odd billion, if one of us owed a few pounds (and I mean just a few pounds) the old feet wouldnt touch the ground, and the old black silk cap would come out of the drawer and have the dust blown off of it....

Christ, I was reading that and it sounded as if I was having a rant...lol
Worked on this last Friday. It produced just enough power to boil my kettle.

I can see them scheming how to get a meter in between that and your kettle (or car/van) the electricity companies (all foreign owned btw) will just get real pssed off and encourage the government to do that under the excuse of "generating revenue for the continued provision and development of national green energy infrastructure objectives" *codename operation shaftmore* and they will say "whats your problem its only a teeny weeny bit of tax" (on your own free energy taken from your own private "greener" generator) and that you must pay duty and VAT on it per unit generated...



Right now theres something called "Lobbying" which translates in klingon as "bribery" and if we were billionaires (or even just "well heeled wealthy businessmen") there would be all sorts of invitations to attend "trade fairs" and join "delegations" to "table suggestions" coming our way....table a case full of notes more like...

The dearest petrol i have seen so far is 134.9 for petrol and 139.9 for desiel and that was at a motorway service station.The sad thing is by Easter these will be normal prices for petrol,but it will be about 147 for desiel,How is the average working man supposed to afford this?

 

[grantr37]

were not supposed to afford it, were supposed to get off the roads so the b*ntley and range rov*r drivers can have full use of them, although they will wreck them really quick as there will be giant craters(potholes) all over by that time LOL HAHAHAHAHA
I wont be surprised in 6 weeks if petrol is £1,64.3p and diesel is £1,78.7p I can see it very easily, and petrol in the USA will be $0.58¢ (about 40p) which will still be too much for the people there.....

I can see those little teeny tiny cars that are like biscuit tins with a hairdryer inside and have "free Road Tax" going to £100.00 a year Road Tax in the name of "fairness and equality" as they will say that so many people drive them now that the "incentive scheme towards compact fuel efficient cars" will need to go..

check it out the rade of Duty on Bio Diesel is now 59p a litre, and its going to go up, does that mean if I make my own fuel from chip oil and drive around on it, I'm breaking the law!!!!!!!

You know whats going on, its called social engineering, transferring any wealth the poor may have back to the land-lords or land grabbers, all the same, just different titles sir. Why does Charles need 300,000 + acres of land, you tell me when I live in a rabbit hutch ?

Couldn't have put it better myself!

 

[flyingsausage]

I seen perol at £138.9 last night and petrol at £143.9 at a motorway service station.this is daylight robbery.As people traveling on the motorway are a steady stream of customers needing fuel.This is a rip off.

 

[nickblake]

round here deisel is £138.9 to £142.9 thats at the average price ..if im not mistaken fuel exsize duty is 0.67p per ltr and the double wammy is Vat on top so its double taxed doesnt matter which govermentis in they will still increase it till the country grinds to a halt it will be intresting what the budget brings probably another 2 p a ltr on top , they should try and come into our area and run a buisness where you have to drive for an hour or more just to get to the job

 

[flyingsausage]

The dirty rat Gordon Brown put the tax up every budget he was in power an had his numpty Darling keep putting it up when Brown got the top job.It was a dirty trick they done last year spreading a 3p per liter rise out over the course of the year so people wouldn't notice so much when a General Election was being held.Then the Tory VAT rise atfter the New Year only made it worse.
I think they are at last seeing that this can't go on anymore the public simply can't afford it,with all the other price rises going up far more than the made up inflation rates you see on the news every month.I think that they will either freeze the duty rate or put a sneaky rise spread over the full year(just like last year).
There are alot of tax rises about to kick in when the new tax year starts in April which will make us worse of then we are now.
The robber (Gordon Brown) left a scheme in place for fuel duty to go up by inflation and one pence on top of that,for every new budget,but weither the Tories will keep that or scrap it who knows.
I know that beer and smokes will be going up as well,forcing more pubs to shut down and more jobs lost,and now everyone seems to buy their smokes at the Barra's these days

I saw diesel 1.45 yesterday not a motorway service station either. Petrol was 1.39. As stated before there possibly is other ways to run cars on water etc but do the big petrol companies want people doing that?? It's not going to get any better!!

I seen on the news a couple of years ago people running cars on chip oil etc,but it would be the Goverment thinking about the lost tax,they would come after it at some point.

 

[flyingsausage]

Another point is due to the price of fuel most people will be forced to downsize their car,either through running a bigger one with a smaller engine or getting a smaller car.And with these smaller cars come better fuel economy and emisions.Which means if you get more miles to the gallon you will be buying less fuel and the goverment will get less tax.
Also for lower emisions you will pay less road tax, which means the Goverment will lose out on tax there as well.So if the Goverment is going to lose out on tax with this they must be thinking of another sneaky few ways to get the money from our pockets

 

[CRAGS]

Know a lad who tried run his on chip oil didn't work out to cheap for him as he did not modify engine correctly and knackered the engine.

My wife downsized from a pug 206 diesel 2.0 turbo to a Ibiza 1.2 petrol and she reckons the Ibiza is worse on fuel.

 

[flyingsausage]

On some cars there can be as many as 20 miles to the gallon between running a petrol and desiel
