I really am struggling to see how adding 3p to the 132.9p I last paid for petrol gives you 145p.

They even say in the frigging article that the average (not sure if it is, but still?) is 138p, so how the bejesus do they arrive at 145p?

The story is really about a hike that has been repeatedly delayed and cut. Which is a good thing. Sensationalist bellends.

That's pretty unfortunate, well above even the Daily Fail's average! I mostly live in Loughborough, and Sainsburys have been providing me pretty constant prices. I must say, though, I think it's now up to 134 or perhaps 135.9.

Aye...used to live up north. How i miss it!!!!!!!

Great countryside, pleasant people, no speed cameras and some of the best roads in the UK. Not to mention the loose women (no pun intended).

God knows why i left Newcastle!!!

got £90.32 into the Mondeo on Sunday, if it does end up costing another £4 to fill up as it's so expensive now that the extra isn't going to be noticed.

Do think that fast car numbers are going to dwindle.

Cycle into work one day a week and you just cut your fuel bills by 20%. Winner.

I thought rising fuel prices were great, as big-engined stuff became harder and harder to sell and therefore values were falling through the floor - you can get silly barges for no money at all these days!

Then I realised I'd have to sell one myself too hehe

Thats what I thought, got a BMW 528i for £999, fantastic car, lovely to drive, yet the <20MPG on a good day around town is making me thinking about selling it already, had it since the end of January. Yet I know its going to be impossible to shift.

Hopefully I'll get the job I want and I'll get to keep it!

You think they care? They don't.

Those council houses for bandy legged crackhead single mothers are not going to buy themselves are they?

Yep, if you are able to its a good suggestion, tend to find most people are either too far away or need to carry stuff.

I am lucky, I fill my car at the start of the month and use it when I want, I cycle or work from home and take the car if I fancy a drive, at 21 MPG it makes it so its still viable.

cycling can be enjoyable, depends on many factors but my seven miles passes quickly and I enjoy it, three days ont he bike this week and two days at home, fuel usage minimal but appreciate this affects us in other ways and a lot of people have no choice.

The Tories have lost my vote. This and the muted road pricing has done it for me.

For the first time in my life I'll spoil my voting card and vote in the opposition.
Can't see how that would make any difference in this instance.

Lot of dummy spitting going on, they did raise the personal allowance so you will pay £200 odd less tax, thats a lot of 3p's.

£1.33 can't be the average, though.

Where is it less than that? Given some of the ~145p prices on here it would have to be 121 somewhere and I really don't think that is the case.
