From: johannes on 13 Mar 2010 11:02 I went to a Tesco super and wanted unleaded at 115.9, however, the queues were too long. So I went up to another Tesco (Express) 3 miles up the road. Queues were smaller, but the same liqueur was 116.9. Bastards! Of course I didn't buy any.

Further tax increases by GB and his merry men certainly can't be ruled out. Curiously the petrol protests/blockades occured when petrol was edging towards 90p per litre I think. At the time the hauliers were moaning that they were going out of business. What has happened since then? The haulage industry still seems to be going strong. I may be wrong but the last time petrol prices were this high, oil was around $147 per barrel. Why the disparity in oil price vs pump price now? Is it due solely to tax increases? -- Peter <X-Files fan>

Didn't you realise they did this? It's fully documented everywhere! If you don't like the prices go elsewhere. I doubt losing your custom would have any effect.

I find that very hard to believe - given that the fuel will come from the same source as a branded fuel just down the road. -- SteveH

Well I hope you got more than 55 mpg for the 6 mile round trip to save, what? 60p. That would buy you about half a litre so if you get less than 12 miles per litre you've made a loss. Given 4.54 litres per gallon, that comes to 54.5 MPG, presuming you time has no value, too. Of course it's the _principle_ that is important :-) |
