Petrol is actually remarkably cheap in this country, at around 30p per litre.
The main problem is that the government then add 70p of fuel duty and VAT to the final cost.
If we want to see cheaper petrol, we need to fist vote in a government that doesn't waste billions of pounds on a spend, spend, spend achieve nothing, nothing, nothing agenda.

It doesn't matter which political party is in Government, they'll still see taxing motorists as an easy form of revenue. Just like drinkers and smokers.

Hey man, people should like grow their own Muesli and live in Teepees man. Grimaldi I made an organic Flugelbarrow last week from one of my old lady's kitchen cupboards, a spinning top and a bit of Mrs Westinghorns head, it sounds far out. Don't tell her though man, she might set fire to my Wizards hat!

DarkAuror, I agree that all governments exploit the motorist but the reality is that Labour have continually added punishing fuel duty tax increases at the same time the cost of oil has dramatically risen - so they're effectively taxing us twice as much as usual.

Hey Grimaldi and Doug, I bought a green Wizards hat on Saturday. It's coloured green man and is guaranteed exploitation free. It's a fair trade Wizards hat man, far out funky and outta sight. I wore it to Avebury man and people were sniggering and then I pointed out in Stones restaurant that a cool cat was wearing a far out big white cosmic hat man. And then Mrs Altery pointed out he was the chef, heavy vibes Grimaldi!
