Wirral\'s Cheapest Petrol ?
--------------------------------------
Pipeline Discount Card Website........ So where is the Highest Priced Petrol on the Wirral ?
What do you think about the way the prices are going ?
What should goverment do to help the motorist ?
Will the pipeline card thing work out ??
The most expensive i have seen is 98.0 p a litre now that is so wrong!!!!
Did you see the £1.10 in Blackpool "O MY GOD"
"That's So wrong"....
I think the goverment should reduce the tax
to compensate...
Somethin has to be done!!!
otherwise we should change to GAS.....
I'll be on the bike soon peeps!
insted of the truckers blockin up the oil re-finerys us cruisers shod do it!!
i think they goverment should reduce tax's anyway but especially during this time because its just too expensive at more than a £1 a litre. Ive heard something about a temporary possible three day week aswel, anyone else heard
this?
I'm not 100% Sure but,
If i hear correctly the UK has the most expensive petrol per ltr in Europe ?
Well its hitting the News so i dont think its going to be too long before some action is taken.
Lets hope London comes to a stop first eh !
just heard on radio that the big 3 oil companies, shell, esso, bp, r going to pump more oil out per day so the price will actually be frozen for the foreseeable future.
So its kicking off again.
They say not me that they should curve back down a little at the end of september.
Then back up again for christmas.
But Diesel is going to stedely rise.
Hopefully the goverment will reduce the tax
so it wont go over the £1
But funny enough some one told me (Forgot who)
that most petrol pumps can not register + 99.99p
That's going to be fun.
Is petrol too hight again ?
YES i say.
Whats wrong with the 2 or 3 topic that are already running about the petrol prices!?
i saw on the news this morning that the only reason one garage didn't go above the £1 p/l was because it didn't have enough space on the board, and they are ordering new signs to support this.
so, £1 per litre.
60% goes to the government for tax
17.5% goes to the government for Value added tax
So that is nearly 78p for every pound that the government is accountable for, the oil companies only make a few pence profit per litre.
forget bloackading oil refineries lets block downing street

Some of the bigger companies which have their own shops - Select for Shell etc, actually make more profits from the goods sold in the shops, than the fuel sold from the pumps.
Oil has been on a steady rise, the middle east problems havnt helped that rise, oil is also a comodity that will eventually run out which contributes to the price of oil, but the tax on the fuel
Its an easy tax, you dont like paying it, use busses, trains etc, but its paying for the convenience of having the car, and the freedom of a car.
wudnt say public transport is cheaper.. maybe on longer journeys but like going from eastham 2 chester it costs around £4 quid on the train and prob the same on the bus !!
it wudnt even cost me that in the car !! and its shit loads more inconvenient!!
but i agree like goin 2 london or somin !!!
i think blockades r the way forward.. im gonna start storing some petty !!!

Cooooooool, Firebombs
Supermarkets seem to be the cheapest places but i've heard rumours of them having poor quality petrol? has anyone else heard this at all?
MisterAdam yes that can be true, they buy it aborad and import it and it can be crap. A while back Tesco had dodgy fuel and it was breakin peeps cars, even my papas Vectra do to had new fuelfilters and that bcos of it and hes got a 51reg car!

I heard on Radio City this morning, that blockades may start again next week
Im really surprised to the response on this
Every other BB this is on has pages of discussion
People, this could render your car useless without fuel, stopping you going shopping - if there is any food in the shops, stop you going to work, stop you socialising..... etc, etc, yet noone really seems that bothered
Oh im m bothered, but moaning isn't going to get me anywere. I could go on about how the government take the piss with the tax but its all been said before, and its getting us no-were.
What can we do to bring the prices down, anything at all? If there's a way then i'd be more than happy to help do it, protest? Probly get us no-were but im still up for it if
i reckon we blockade the shell and esso by the rock!!
The only way to bring prices down is to hit home with mr blair. If we stopped him from being able to travel then he'd see what problems everyone else in the country is having. Fuel duty is easy money to him so he's not going to lower it unless someone rubs his nose in the issue.
highest i have seen is 93p
£1.00 on shell borough road is b/s
Stopping tony blair from travellin is gonna lump you in jail on some bullshit law. ASBOs and section 59s may be issued to protestors i reckon. I feel lucky now payin 89.9 up here
were is it 89.9 then, and were is the the cheapest now then, an don the topic of changin it i think the only way to go would be for petition and everuy one to write in to mr blair saying if he dosent do somethink then nextelections we ll vote someone in who will as i figure enough people write then evenyually it will get through

Scotland.
i didnt think to read read the poster location my mistake anyway thats a bit far to travel to fill up so weres the cheapest locally now
If you want "real" fuel, go to the shell @ bromborough 93.9, or the asda has it cheaper but it's rumoured they use addatives which make your car run slower and less economically
from wat i have been told, all the petrol whether its shell, esso, or sainsburys tesco etc, all comes from the shell refinery..
i used to work for shell and all the tankers sed its the same shit except for optimax !!
Yeah, Tesco's petrol is exactly the same but can only be shipped in "Tesco" Branded tankers for example, same as Asda and the likes of......
Tony blurt aint gettin another term anyway. I cant believe people actually vote for this chump. Now i dont know my politics but the little things i do see now and then would suggest that the grass is deffo greener elsewhere.Think ill vote this election to hoof him out.The war was a big oopsie aswell.
LABOUR VOTERS:U BROUGHT THIS ON YOURSELVES
If i was the budget dude i'd lower the tax on fuel by at least 10p a litre and tax the absolute shit outta cigarettes. I mean like an extra 30% or even more.

I heard last week that was going to be a blockade at every oil refinery in the UK by the farmers again this coming Wednesday, but haven't heard anything since. Also there was going to be a go slow on the M4 by taxis and coach operators.
Is this still going ahead?
Not sure about the blockades etc,
but shell at heswall has dropped to 92.9 now. biiiiiig ques though! and they ran out of fuel yday!
Current fuel price in dundee, 93.9 for 95unleaded
Filled up yesterday,i advise all to fill up ASAP as the panic buying would have started by now and i can see the prices going up everyday so the longer u wait the more u pay.Wonder how long itll be til the price is over a quid everyday,i bet about 2 weeks after blair lowers it due to protests.Hes a ****
Just heard the blockades are still happening for at least a week
Oh crap, better take my jerry can down the petrol station after work......if theres any petrol left
they are, just filled up the van, and the civic. 80 pounds in one day, what a crock.
Asda in Bromborough have now run out but they are meant to be getting a new delivery at 5.00pm today.
ive just filled up now and im going to later on tonight aswel with a can, its great when youve got inside info
i think bans are the wrong way to go about tryin to bring the prices down. buisnesses go bust and I am going to be ****ed if i cant get to wrexham its not as if i could catch a train of sumthin.
i agree with, absolutly stupid thigs, any way who s up for an organised late night petrol buy to night, say 1am at upton
Im gonna juice up at about 11pm tonight, hopefully it should be a little quieter then
I am going to juice up later on, the que's are just stupid right now.
But all for a good cause, i would que for hours if i had to and even resort to the old mountain bike if it gets the taxes lowered. Its not a money thing with me, its the princaple that Blair is takin the piss as ushual.......
No que's at 1:00 am at all, rolled straight into Shell at Eastham and filled up wiv Optimax
Tony Blair, Bring it on you robin *******
Fuel blockade apparently starting at 6:00am on Wednesday Morning at Stanlow.
Anyone up for coming along for a bit to support this cause ??
Also there is a
Go Slow drive on the M4 arranged for friday to cause disruption to highlight the campaign.
The goverment make me laugh, They are saying that the Tax used to be only 74% when fuel was 52p a litre and now the Tax is less at 68%
74% of 52p is 38 pence tax per litre
68% of 98p is 66 pence per litre
So the goverment are getting nearly double what they used to but try and decieve us by quoting percentages instead of real money.
They are taking the piss.
I dont see what protesting will do to be honest, i can't see it getting us anywere, im more than up for joining in though as we can'y simply bend over and let blair shaft us. The government will still have made a piss load of money from us "panic" buying petrol, which will be enough to cover us not buying petrol (due to not being able to) during the protesting period.
The point is,this f***er doesnt give a rats ass what his people think of him, hes not out there to be our friend,hes out there for himself,to get his share of money and then get out, the tit.
dont make no difference to me, I've got half a tank to last me till the end of the month...so i cant fill up anyways cos am skint
the americans pay 37p per litre according to the daily mirror.
when i was in florida last week they were paying $3 per gallon. Apparently thats expensive too!
mmmm. fuel. im gonna make u jealous n say my company i work 4 has its own supply and i get mine free sooooooooooo i cudnt give a toss where the farmers park there tractors 4 a week or 2. anytin 2 try n get optimax 4 cheaper 4 mytoy.
mmm. less cars on road because o petrol cud mean i get 2 work quiker i.e bigger lie in. mmm. hoooray 4 farmers.
85p i seen today @ Sainsbury, Prenton..
Only noticed how much it costs, never really look at prices.
How much is petrol these days?..
One way to get as much as poss from ur tank of fuel
When on the move try to keep between 1400 and 2000 RPM. dont go into fourth too much below 40 as you car gets bogged down trying to accelerate,using more fuel than if u were to use third gear to get u to 30,and similarly,dont go into fifth until 36MPH minimum
Pipeline card is takin a while aint it. Considering it was sposed to be ready by april/may. Still getttin regular emails about its progress so i am hopeful its coming. Its not hugely confidence building having the guys name as "scammel" tho is it. It could just be a scam to make us all be navman GPS unit things lol. Any1 else get that email???

my beemers got a mpg gauge and when i accelerate in 1st 2nd and 3rd, it shoots right down to less than 12mpg, but if i quickly build speed up in 1st, change about 2500 revs, same again in 2nd, then just got to 5th, a full tank seems to last me much longer than avoiding the higher gears until 36mph
