pizzaboy · 30-04-2008, 16:46

^ wont do anything.

Targetting the wrong people, its the goverment tax that makes it expensive not the petrol stations themselves

YorkshireRam · 30-04-2008, 17:06

'bin dun, over and over. buy shares in oil companies and emerging oil exploration firms instead.

Captain Muppet · 30-04-2008, 17:06

But we'll still need to buy it, so they can charge what they like. Petitions get ignored. Blockades don't make any difference. Plus the stuff is running out and we have expensive wars to fund.

The only way to win this is to stop using petrol/diesel. If you are dependant on it then you have to pay what they ask.

Beezy · 30-04-2008, 17:33

Its all about the 'fill up and run'!! lol

Jimthejunior · 30-04-2008, 17:36

Yeah, you just gotta put up with it, if you can't afford to run yo vehicles don't.

mint · 30-04-2008, 17:45

People whine about how about how much money Shell and BP made last year, but I think you get a good deal on the price of fuel, considering its not much more expensive than bottled water, even though its been drilled out of a deep hole, sent half way around the world, refined etc.

I don't agree with how much money the government make in tax on it, since your are mostly paying tax when you fill up.

Ghandi had the right idea 'passive resistance'. If everybody in the country refused to work a full working week, and instead worked on 3 working days a week, watch the economy crumble, the country would be buggered in days, stock market would fall, foreign investment would pull money out the country and the government would have to back down.

A few sweaty truckers outside a fuel depot won't change anything really.

Its not hard to start a revolution, just needs enough people to start it...

If all the insurance workers, bankers, call centre bods, estate agents, lawyers, DVLA, garage mechanics, independant financial advisors, builders, hairdressers, accountants and sales reps all refused to come to work for the next month the only thing that would change is daytime TV viewing figures.

And all those bastards are using up my fuel commuting.

BP and Shell have annouced profits today of £7.2bn over the last three months.

The government also rake in 70p of every £1 spent on petrol.

That is a joke.

superclarkey · 30-04-2008, 19:02

we will not win.... just except that we get rapped and make the most of each pound by doing skids everywere

mrclaas · 30-04-2008, 19:03

red diesil is around 60p per litre at the moment road diesil is upto £1.23 per litre around me, any chance they will drop some of the tax on road diesil and petrol? i dout it...

superclarkey · 30-04-2008, 19:08

I heard they were going to scrap red diesel ? is true ?

Baba · 30-04-2008, 19:20

LPG for the win man!!!

Its not hard. Convert your skid cars to LPG. Then its skid skid win win!!

mrclaas · 30-04-2008, 19:20

god i hope not, it costs a fortune to run a tractor on red at 60p per liter, hate to think the cost of farming (and the nock on price of food) if we have to pay for road diesil
