I think im in a confrontational mood today. In all seriousness I think Europe as a whole should increase fuel duty 1000%, and insist the yanks follow suit. Enforce the change which needs making.

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 The £30 I put into my 1.2 Clio is now lasting less than 5 or 6 days now. So I'm going to have to up it to £35 so I can get a week out of it. I think, off my back-of-a-fag-packet calcs, I'm spending roughly £40 MORE per month than this time last year. My salary hasn't increased that much, I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I pay about £50 to get the train to work each month. Cheers for the rail subsidies, dudes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) Up in durham the petrol prices are usually 1-2p per litre more expensive than those in and around Rochdale but there are some garages which are usuallly about the same price in Gateshead and Sunderland (often go to either place with 'work') so I get my petrol there when I can. I paid 117.9p/litre at my local Sainsburys the other day. Plus when in a lot of supermarkets you can pick up maps which have their store lisitings in and since supermarkets are usually cheaper than garages on longer journeys I quite often use these for example there is a Tesco in Garforth that I use now and then in my commute from Heywood to Durham Edited July 1, 2008 by rudemedic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego_Sideburns Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) I'm paying 118.9p per litre at Tesco which amounts to £5.40 a gallon. Edited July 1, 2008 by Diego_Sideburns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldhamSheridan Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I have no idea what I pay. I just whallop it in and go on my merry way. The only thing I really know the price of is pints and cans and that's because one is far cheaper than the other. If they started selling petrol at 20p a can I'd probably start buying that too. I may even get some for the car too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they think an extra £10.50 a week is enough to force me into a "healthy lifestyle" then they can think again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspiral_Carpet Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 The cheapest price for diesel up here is 129.9p. It has affected my driving habits as I have now slowed down after reading some reports on fuel consumption rates at high speeds. I'm now getting at least 100 miles extra out of a 50 litre tank-ful. It's all to do with wind resistance apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that sounds about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, IC driving slowly whatever next a Brit winning Wimbledon. By the way IC is it worth you travelling that little bit further to go to Newton Aycliffe as I would guess diesel is cheaper than that at the Tesco there.

lincoln_latic Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I reckon that next season it'll cost me about an extra fiver in petrol for each home game (230 mile round trip). Although it won't stop me going it's just one more thing to add to the ever shrinking pound in my pocket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
