What is the price of petrol in the UK these days?
I have a sneaking suspicion it's a damn sight more expensive here in Belgium..

Current average for unleaded is 122.4 or something.

Mostly as a result of the 8 pence of duty increases we've seen since the decline of oil in 2008, and the devaluation of sterling caused by the ridiculous interest rates we have right now. It will go up by a further 4p by January 4th as a result of VAT increase and a further duty increase.

Unleaded petrol right now currently costs about 44p a litre. The rest of the price is VAT and duty.

Good eh?
 
Pretty much the same as the rest of western Europe then, as Belgium is slightly cheaper than France, NL and Germany..
 
Jokes aside, I paid 128.9 for SUL last night and nearly wept. Never before have I managed to spend a tenner more than I got in litres :(.

What really grinds me is that no one seems to care anymore? Was it 3 years ago we had the blockades and such when it went over a quid, it pretty quickly dropped back down after that but its crept back up and everyone's happy to just bend over and take it :(.
 
In America they moan like hell about the price of petrol and they pay less than half what we pay!

I was in California a couple of years ago and the price for a gallon there was around £2.40. They couldn't believe it when i told them what we pay in Britain.

When I was in Brunei I noticed that Premium 97 was 26p a litre.
I died a little inside :(
