| The garage on Leigh road added 2p on fuel at 10.30pm on new years eve well before any other garage.
Fuel has risen from about 95p ( diesel ) in 2007 a litre to todays ave £1.32.
Funny thats a rise of 12p per litre before the general election whenBy Robert Winnett, Deputy Political Editor 11
So for all the people that voted for the Tories and Lib Dems yet another manifesto lie .
We had fuel protests then so why are we putting up with it now ?
2011 Fuel Tax Figures
A 0.76p increase on the 1st January 2011 brought the duty rate for the main road fuels up to 58.95p per litre. This coincided with the 2.5% increase in VAT rate, which is now at record high of 20%

| This email is doing the rounds again seems a good idea to me although I’d say boycott all the major companies.
Quote: "Please see what you think and pass it on if you agree with it.
We are hitting £129.9 a litre in some areas now and soon we will be faced with paying £1.50 per litre. So Philip Hollsworth offered this good idea:
This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the 'don't buy petrol on a certain day campaign' that was going around last April or May! The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to hurt ourselves by refusing to buy petrol. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them. BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can really work.
Please read it and join in!
Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a litre is CHEAP, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS - not sellers control the market place. With the price of petrol going up more each day, we consumers need to take action. The only way we are going to see the price of petrol come down is if we hit someone in the pocket by not purchasing their petrol! And we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves. Here's the idea:
For the rest of this year DON'T purchase ANY petrol from the two biggest oil companies (which now are one) i.e. ESSO and BP.
If they are not selling any petrol, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit. But to have an impact we need to reach literally millions of Esso and BP petrol buyers. It's really simple to do!!
Now, don't wimp out on me at this point... keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!
I am sending this note to a lot of people. If all of you send it to at least ten more (30 x 10

| The Watcher knows that if HMRC did not get the money from petrol tax then it would get it from somewhere else. The Government requires X amount of £`s to run the country, that figure will not alter if petrol tax is reduced. It will be time to worry when petrol becomes the same price as lager per gallon.

| With inflation rising rapidly and economic growth in reverse the next step is a rise in interest rate to make the rich richer.
Something must be done to protect the working class people that drive this country.
Immigration is bleeding this country dry and none of the political parties have the bottle to address it.
Fuel will be £1.50 a gallon to compensate for the above before the summer.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Not often I'll agree with our 3rd person poster , but he is right , if we all bought electric cars tomorrow , they would put up road tax to £ 1,500 the day after , they need the same amount of money to run the country
If we all fitted windmills and solar panels overnight , they would have to find another way to bring in all the tax they get from the sale of Electricity
That's just the way it is

| I love the way people complain about the gov't "robbing us blind with taxes" (on pertol or whatever else) but never moan about central funding provided for free health care, free education or the social welfare system?!
As far as I am aware there's no law forcing anyone who is here to stay in the country ... you're always welcome to go live somewhere that has lower fuel prices?

Unfortunatly all those benefits you mention also bring into this country people who cost the country money

| China's economy grew 8% in the last quarter.
They are buying everything on the planet and they have infaltion....its going to get more expensive for us....get used to it.
While we are banging on about prices and the recession in the West, the rest of the world is getting on with it and becoming richer every day.
Be afraid - we have to compete, or die.
