somehing needs to be done about the 60-70p tax in that lot...

What was it Jeremy Clarkeson said last night? Fuel is cheaper than bottled water?

Not that I want or need to buy either of those. What a job that must be, do you show them pictures of sexy Charolais or something

That's why I drink the water out of the tap, that I've already paid for

Diesel is now more expensive than 4 star at my local sainsbury's

The government are ripping us off big time now diesel cars are becoming more popular, up goes the price, you watch LPG prices rocket as more people start to use it.

It's only a combined tax rate of 188%, don't know how the government manage with such meagre taxation

I saw that for 80p a litre a couple of weeks ago!! I was looking at that as an option. It seems to be between 40 and 50 p a litre still most places.

Veggy oil is still the way to go!!! Just need to make it smell less like mac d's when u drive behind.

the problem with veggie oils is that most new diesels cannot use it only the old 10year + escorts and astras

my BMW has a sign warning not to fill the tank with bio fuels

i will just have to drive slower and try and get the 67mpg BMW say it will do.

Factor in the ~20% increase in consumption over petrol and it's not really much better than diesels in terms of fuel costs.
