So oil is £20...less a barrel than it was when fuel was this high in 2008... Hmmmmmm... well as long as its the mug punter at the end of the chain that has to foot the bill for something he can't do without that's alright then..... the profits and tax being made border on the criminal..According to official sources petrol has gone up 40% since December 2006.. 10% with inflation at 1-2 %...how can this honestly be justified apart from greedy oil companies that shamelessly post eye watering profits and even less shameful governments taking an easy pot of gold

Would have stopped them moaning about having to get a loan which you only need to pay back when you get a decent enough job.

Just seen this thread.

Started on 21st May 2008 - Litre of Petrol - £1.12.

Todays price - £1.30.

It will never stop going up....

Supply and demand?  Or a greedy govenment? (Gov earns a huge % in tax (74% I think))

My friend is in the states..47p a litre! so it's not supply and demand..

Very little to do with supply and demand that the UK prices are this high. Obviously supply and demand is part of it but the majority has to do with a weak pound and ridic taxes.
