I'm not - unless you rinse a tank a week the increases are not really significant. £79 to cover up to 550 miles... I can think of worse deals.

He is right though, even driving a gas guzzler like mine its still a very cost effective way to travel when compared with other means.
I am commuting 120 mile round trip at the moment, every day, cross country. For this i use 5 gallons of fuel in the mercedes @ 24mpg average.
Less than £25 per day in fuel, to get to work in a huge luxury barge 120 mile round trip away, at my convinience. I am not whinging at that, i'd prefer it to be cheaper obviously, but its not at the point where i will moan.

its nuts ,bought my car 4 months ago was costing £44 to brim a few weeks ago £50 ,last night £55 ,lasts me a week and I don't use it to get to work ,I get about 212 miles out of it @ £1.12 litre think thats about 25 miles a gallon anyone concur !
In the 1970s, beer was about 11p per pint or 19p per litre (Carling), 4 star fuel was about 40p a gallon (8.8p per litre).
Nowadays, it is around £2.60 a pint of Carling, and £1.15 (depends where you look).
Why is no one complaining about the price of beer?

Exactly.
I fill £20 a time which gets me just over 200 miles so I'm not complaining....yet! I can never afford to full up my tank
What do you do? Motoway driving all day?
You think a car isn't a luxury?
Yes, it's a neccessity for many people are public transport doesn't go everywhere.
Indeed, but do you not often see people at the bus stop or walking in the rain and think 'I'm glad that's not me'?
I found a receipt from last year.
£20 got me just over 20 Litres.
Today £20 got me around 17.5
I still remember when £10 got me 14litres!
can i ask a silly question? I heard on news today that ME oil supplying countries limit there output to the world.... which pushes costs up
why is that?
also saying that i guess america do the same with there massive reserves they "only just found" (yet have know about since the 70s).
I guess if they all hold there oil in till theres almost none left they would get more money?
hmm did i answer my own question?
lol
