Prices aren't fair and aren't in line with inflation, it's a case of not getting what you pay for - but who cares, the government doesn't, so it's never going to change. I'm going to work in France at the start of summer, and I can't wait, I'd hate to have to come back over to this dump.

 Yet its always full of mugs filling up when they can get it at least 4/5p a litre cheaper down the road at Upton Shell or Sainsburys. BP are always the most expensive. BP are most independtly owned. Shell are cheaper due to royalties around here as BP use the same petrol as Shell as it is all from the same pot. It is only additives what make it a brand petrol. Same reason Sainsbury's were usin BP fuel but lost the contract to Texaco iirc.

TBH, cheaper or not, Id rather fill up with Shell fuel over BP.... I used to be like that haha, usually Shell is cheapest or thereabouts anyway, but my engine (like a lot of engines out there, Google is your friend) runs like a bag of nails on the new Fuelsave diesel, so I don't really have the option of Shell anymore (unless I want to put in V-Power which has no real benefit lol). So I just go to Esso now. I don't really care about prices, it always nice to save a few pence, and admittadly if everywhere were say 128.9p and I saw a garage charging 123.9p, id probably get a tank and save the 5p per litre, but generally, ill just pay whatever they are charging. Its only money at the end of the day. A lot of the people I know who moan about the prices, are quite happy to go and spend £100+ a weekend clubbing, or £20+ down the Pub a few nights a week, but when it comes to fuel, they will have a good hours rant about it. When it hits £2.00 per litre, ill probably change my mind lol. Taxes have to come from somewhere, and unfortunately drivers are the easiest to hit. Drive less and walk more if its biting. For commuters, if you can take public transport within the local area, someone I know worked it out recently, with current fuel pricing, VED (unless you have a hairdryer of course), insurance costs and maintenance costs, it works out far cheaper to get a season pass such as a Solo (if they still do them) or a Trio than to commute by car. But of course, thats if its convenient.

They did that last year, I always forget about it. It's still cheaper either way. I did it when petrol was 95p in 2009, and got it for 90p. It felt like I'd gone back in a time machine (to a few months earlier).

A friend in Chester is selling a Hyundai Accent 1.3 for £200. MOT'd December, electric front windows, CD player, erm sunroof 'etc'. Good tyres, starts first crack and drives as well as it could do. Seems pretty mega on fuel and you aren't going to have to worry about it being hit by wayward shopping trollies. 74,000 odd miles.
Bad bits:
Bodywork has issues but if I get time I'll see if I can't at least slap some fibreglass and filler over the worse of it. No tax but can tax at your expense. It's not going to win you any fit birds when you roll up in the carpark of the Hammer & Chainsaw arms. However it should easily tide you over until the test expires and might even go through the next one with little effort. Note sunset light makes it look a bit tidier than it is, as photos tend to do. It's getting fragged on the weekend I think, but he'd rather someone used it. If I wasn't totally broke I would've bought it to use myself. ![[Linked Image]](http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a249/Cavmad/Hyundaiagainsexylittleminxthatitis004.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a249/Cavmad/Hyundaiagainsexylittleminxthatitis002.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a249/Cavmad/Hyundaiagainsexylittleminxthatitis007.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a249/Cavmad/Hyundaiagainsexylittleminxthatitis006.jpg)

Fair play for taking a stand but you know as well as the rest of us that this will make no difference whatsoever. It'll just inconvenience the rest of us who need to get places for a reason. I dream of the day that fuel prices drive the idiots off the roads

We will be taking direct action and protesting about the failure of the government to act on the major issues effecting the general public at this present time . Fuel tax and high price at the pumps , the fuel companies and big four supermarkets making massive profits from fuel when the barrel price has dropped considerably.
IF you would like to join this protest we are meetin on the 30th september at chester services m56 @7.30 pm arriving at stanlow gate 2 (INNOSPEC) for 8pm. Find our group on facebook 'stanlow fuel protest & direct action group' Are you walking to Stanlow gate 2? If not, kind of defeats the object as it's going to cost you to get there and then again when you have to put more petrol in your cars. I just don't see the point of wasting the money to try to prove a point to people who don't give a shoite 
Sometimes Police Officers give more than just speeding tickets!

Hard-pressed motorists have received some respite after three supermarkets announced fuel-price cuts.
Sainsbury's said petrol prices at the company's 279 forecourts will dip by 4p a litre, with diesel being reduced by 3p a litre, from Wednesday.
Asda said from Wednesday it would be cutting its petrol by up to 3p a litre and its diesel by up to 2p a litre, ensuring motorists would pay no more than 134.7p a litre for petrol and 141.7p a litre for diesel.
And Tesco also announced it was cutting the price of both petrol and diesel by 3p.
Sainsbury's head of fuel Richard Crampton said: "We know that fuel is a big part of many customers' weekly budget so we're keen to do anything we can to help."
Andy Peake, Asda's petrol trading director, said: " When we do drop prices, we drop them everywhere, setting a maximum national price cap for our customer, which means they all benefit from our low prices, regardless of where they live."
Peter Cattell, of Tesco, said: "Tesco is dropping the price of both petrol and diesel by up to 3p per litre from tomorrow morning. "

You can bet your bottom dollar that the Fuel Duty Escalator will pop another 3p or 4p per litre onto the price of fuel in the budget next week. I really do hope I'm wrong on this !!! Fill up whilst it's "cheap" !!

Asda Bromborough £1.26.7 a litre
The latest round of cuts takes the forecourt price back to October’s two and a half year low of 126.7p when an aggressive petrol price war saw all four supermarkets slug it out to be the cheapest.

I do not understand why people travel miles wasting petrol to buy cheaper petrol. I know of 3 fools that do this, waste petrol and time, more wear and tear on the old jalopy too.

I have a diesel car and it is quite selective when it comes to fuel. I get most MPG on normal Shell diesel and the least on Tesco. It doesn't run correctly on Morrisons fuel or Sainsburys fuel. My diesel is exactly the same. I always found Shell to be very competitively priced to the supermarkets, particularly around Ellesmere Port, so always used that.
