As this affects us all though i would start a topic!
How is everyone coping with the increase of fuel costs?
Anyone heard that they are planning to increase fuel to £2 a Ltr?
If thats the case think its over for me and cars now im finding it hard as it is if shit carrys on im selling up and im dun with this bullshit.

Selling the S14a as it's got that ridiculous. Gone are the days of having fast dailys. The new era of diesel daily and fast toy has now begun
skyrocket

to be honest we are all to blame...as a people we have no spine...we dont complain/riot/protest anymore...
the gov know this and have us over a barrel...we are so reliant on petrol/diesel we just pay up regardless.
on the other hand with the price of beer going thru the roof record numbers of pubs are shutting...
the same is happening to small private petrol stations....a pattern is beginning
i brimmed the tankin the lude, and even with a 5p/lyr off voucher it was £57...

aslong as we all keep paying up the goverment will keep puttin the price up.
im gettin 50 mile to a tenner thats 25 a gallon, its madness to be fair, shame that we have to give up our possesions because we can't afford them, seem's like its the same thig for everythin these days an the shit things is is that they cuttin wage's down and people are loosing there jobs, all this and we're in a recession, dread to think what its gonna be like when its all blown over.

i find it funny that someone somewhere has made a facebook group an actually believe's that it is going to make a difference!
aslong as we keep paying they gone keep puttin it up, we need to go on strike but will anyone.... highly unlikely!

facebook does get noticed and so does its groups, nothin really happens from it though!
a good old protest would do the trick, maybe if there was a fb group for one at cetain petrol stations across the uk then yeah maybe somethin might change.
