For small distance commutes I'd definately consider a 125, pretty bargainous way of getting around.

Yeah, exactly. Don't get me wrong its cold in the winter and can be wet!

I only commute 9 miles each way to work on it.

It cost me £1800 but its brand new (3 year warranty), does 65mph comfortably and returns almost the same mileage / gallon whether its ridden slowly or at full throttle!

Simples!

Between 137.9 and 142.9 for Unleaded now :/

Up at $1.35 for petrol now. Increase of around 20cents over the last month or two.

Not that stupid surely, ideally public transport should be cheaper than a single person in a private car.

Public transport must always be cheaper than driving, otherwise, theres no point in it (for me anyway).

It makes no sense why it is cheaper for me to drive to Derby than it is to get the train.

I just got chunked £97 to stick 68 litres in the BMW.

Good job I don't pay for fuel

20 quid is something stupid like 14 litres. Only last year stick in 20 quid that would be enough for a week. now its more like 25-30 quid a week... Sucks

Everyone is in the same boat to be honest

CaptainRAVE · 24 Apr 2011 at 22:58

Only costing me £55 at the moment to fill up from reserve level - got 280 miles out of it last time, so not *too* bad. Would still prefer it to be cheaper!

I've been (as I think many of you have too) been recording fill up data:

Gone up around 50% in the 2.5 years i've been collecting the data

I recon 140ppl (I know some places are there already) 1st July.

£45 to fill which gives 300-350 miles depending on how granny I drive.

£82 with my 350Z last week (normal unleaded).

dannycivic02 · 25 Apr 2011 at 03:28

It really is ridiculous now and I can't see it letting up anytime soon either.

It is only going to get worse.

If the trouble keeps going in the middle east its going to easily top 150 or 160 a litre. Its already 145 a litre on motorways...

Coming home with my sister in her car yesterday, we had to pull into Clacket Lane to fuel up...it was 149.9ppl.

I know it's a motorway service station, and also it was a Total garage so expensive anyway...but Christ :/

I'm putting a Tenner in & getting around 190kms.

Think Bike.

Where do people think the oil price will go from here?

Seems like a fairly steady increase, does anyone think it will crash before it reaches $150?
