Looks like it's time for me to get the Gypsy back on the road then.

[joker??]

was looking for another truck but dont know if it will be worth it now,
might put it on hold for a while

[Albannach]

We shouldn't be allowing this to happen, folk selling trucks, fuel taxation increasing for no reason. FFS Diesel is a by product, why the fluck does it cost more than the primary product?

We elect the government, they are our representatives, get them told; sort this out or lose your job!

[Garygadget]

if i remember correctly when they found oil of the the scotish coast years ago the govenment said fuel would would be cheeper because it was top grade and did not need so much doing to it mmmm so why are we importing so much oil and paying 75% tax on fuel we as car or truck drivers are an easy target sighs what do they call this country RIP OF BRITAIN RANT OVER !!!!!!!!!!!

[RodLeach]

I want to get a dodge ram asap!!! i hope to god nothing comes up where i need to do serious miles

sometimes living the dream is a total nightmare!!

[Chillitt]

Whatever happens in the budget, remember, it's the last one that will run its full year before the next election. And don't give me any of that miners strike/milk thief twaddle either...

lorry owners /drivers did it how many years a go an look what we had to do just to get the price of road tax to drop it was all about the cost o derv and we put the country on its knees for just over a week and all that happened was we got a price drop on the road tax for hgvs and the goverment will not dare put the cost of of the tax back up but it is not the road tax that is killing the transport in the uk it is the cost of the derv i spent 5 nights bloke aiding grangemouth fuel terminal and all we had was grief from vosa for months after the strike so we (all the diesel users in the uk ) can do is to not go to work for one week and head to your nearest fuel terminal and do not let the tankers out of the place and see what the gov can do to help stop the oil giants raping us all of our hard earned cash what was shell pre tax profits this year b######s

This is what we should do to Brown

How do i run my beloved surfy on veg oil?

Is it complicated?

Please guys, remember - i am female so make it simple please

[Albannach]

Right... First off jeff.fn02jwa, punctuate! It's next to impossible to read what you just said without punctuation.

Secondly, the oil giants are not raping anyone. I work for one of them, so speak with some authority on the subject. The oil giants, as you call them, do not make that much money from petrol or DERV fuel. They make maybe 2ppl, the reason the profits are high is that they sell so much of it. If Esso decided to give theit petrol or DERV fuel away for free, you'd not even notice it.

If a litre of fuel costs £1 at the pump, around 78% is duty, 2% supplier margin 15% dealer mark up and 5% transport costs.

Remember the transport costs also rise with the cost of the fuel, they are also averaged so as not to discriminate against rural areas.

If fuel is more expensive in rural areas, it's the dealer who's bumped the price up, not the oil company. In fact, most of the oil companies subsidise rural area deliveries.
