Luckily our Prime Minister is now the motorist's friend. Am sure it will all be sorted in no time.

I think Rishi mentioned, once or twice* on Laura Kunnesburg's programme last Sunday, that his party had reduced fuel duty by a record amount.
*it was actually about 5 or 6 times, and not once was he asked a question about it.🙂
Anyway, thank heavens there isn't a war on motorists on his watch.

Average unleaded price:
France: £1.71
UK: £1.56

Diesel price:
France: £1.68
UK: £1.61

UK is actually nearly 30p a litre cheaper than the Netherlands.

Yeah, but they can't "coast" downhill.

Do people actually knock it out of gear and do that ?

I thought it was a joke

Re: Petrol Up Big Time

If you use the Bank of England's inflation calculator, fuel isn't much more expensive than it was in the 80s, comparatively speaking.
