tax
Higher fuel prices means more revenue for the government ,low fuel prices means less tax .
so to some up there quite happy thanks ,
This in turn can be spent on guarding there oilfields and refineries ,and just so happens that a lot of powerful people in the uk have sum vested
interest in.

don't know.
That may be so, but if there was someone worth voting for I'd vote! Why would I back any of the donkeys who reckon that they can run our country
when they clearly can't? Until a decent candidate appears I won't be voting.....
Spin 'er off Well...

You can't think like that. The candidates are always suspect, just by the fact that they're running in the first place; I mean, really,
who wants it? If they have any brains, they can do better elsewhere.
If you don't know who to vote for, do what my father-in-law does: go with the guy with the most money. He is the least likely to be bought off
by some criminal who wants a nuclear power plant next to a kindergarten. The guy you never want is the one with the flashy wife. She's blowing
all his hard earned cash and he always needs more.
And the quote was: "Democracy is a terrible system of government, but it's better than all the others" or words to that effect.

Stop driving fast on motorways/dual carriageways and keep to 55 behind a HGV. You would be amazed what it does to fuel consumpsion and stress levels.
I can get 25% more out of a tank doing that, which I can put in my MK at weekends
Reckon that will cause a few comments
I agree thats how i drive most of the time 
It's what I do too. Although mainly 'cos the Imp is happier at 55 than 65. Get 50mpg at that speed on motorways, 35-40 around town, and
42.5(ish) on a mix of fast and slow A roads.
Don't use that car much either- I don't commute, being at University- most of my journeys are longer ones at the beginning and end of
term.
