BP are robing everyone, its 141.9 at the only BP filling station then Esso at 140.9 then shell at 136.9 and Asda 134.9
BP should be avoided at all costs or even get all the drivers together and block there forecourt until they drop the price.
Or park a vehicle either side of the garage with a big sign saying by your fuel elsewhere

Fechin Hell.....that article states that USA petrol prices have dropped to $3.61 a gallon...thats just £2.26 a US gallon...and 1 US gallon = 3.78541178 litre. That means the Yanks are just paying 59.7 pence a Litre!!!


It Just shows you Feching greedy our government is, Is it any wonder our mainstream industry cannot compete with the US when they are paying less than half for their Vehicle Fuel over there.. :roll:

The Government has to raise enough money to pay for the countrys expenditure. This money has to be raised from somewhere so if it is not from fuel, what else do you want taxing?

Im sure we raise more than enough Money already...I think the real problem is that we are wasting it, To much of it goes on the Dole Cheats and the Bloated public sector, foreign aid, Other peoples wars etc and the EU, the list goes on and on...........

If more Tax were required then we could Hit the Nom doms and all those other Fiddling Barstewards that get out of paying Taxes.......maybe we could raise a few trillion by charging migrants £10,000 each for the privilige to live here, it would signify their goodwill and keep the bloody scroungers out.

I think its time we took a new look at all these things...we can no longer afford to be nice to everyone from everywhere...I see no real need to kill ourselves through over taxation in the process...

Have you ever thought of emigrating yourself? You seem to have all the qualifications to live in cloud cuckoo land.

This is hypothetical but what would the government do if all the fuel company's decided to stop selling it until the tax was halved
