Likewise, although mpg doesn't bother me in the slightest tbh as I don't do a huge amount of miles per year anyway. I'll either cycle most of next year or use my other vehicle which despite hitting 60mph in under 3 seconds and nudging 170mph still returns @40mpg. ;)

I haven't got that level of 2 wheel power at all, but once the salt looks to be off the roads for sure, I'll be glad to get my ER-6F back out where it belongs. The car can sit idle on the drive all summer.
 
Since i sold my lpg'd bmw i havent been to the local business that provided all my fuelling needs which at the last time i filled up was at £0.49pl. However today i was driving past and had a look at the price and i was shocked, it was now at £0.70pl. A 40%ish increase! There be rage somewhere.
 
134 from random noname petrol place I drove past has been teh highest Ive seen up here.
Went out of the way to sainsburys and got 127 so filled up
 
I'm now paying £1.39 a litre for texaco super unleaded so a full tank in my scoob is now costing £83! All that for 180 - 220 miles! Thankfully I now have a 306 dturbo as a daily driver, still costs £70 to fill up but when you're getting 500+ miles to a tank it doesn't seem so bad.

they seem to keep it around half the cost of unleaded around here....40% increase and yet still one of the cheaper options :/
 
123.9 at the sainsburys in Mansfield, 2p cheaper than everywhere else, highest i've seen is 128.9 at a Shell garage a few miles away but is located just before the M1 thieving gits.

Still cost £85 to fill the tank, but should last me a month so doesn't bother me too much, the sound of that sweet V8 is worth every penny.

This combined with high insurance means motoring is fast becoming a thing of the past for many people.

Not happening for years to come, it'll get many years before we see any reduction of cars on the roads.

But the worst hit are young people with low salaries I imagine.

The thing is that once you are 25+ and have your driving license for 6+ months then the insurance cost less than £1.5k (still a lot) for most for a normal car.
 
lol my fault, mind fail....I was taking 'power' literally....ie a bike has only 1 wheel of power and typically most cars have 2.....
