I knew it was going to come sooner or later, but today I paid 101.9p/litre of Optimax. That was from a regular Shell garage in the town, not a motorway service station where it's no doubt even more expensive. What has the world come to when you can't even get a litre of petrol for ?1.

i was hoping it wouldnt get that far cos half the petrol stations would need new signage to take 4 figures. The cheating buggers are just rounding it up to the nearest 10 :cry:

good ole KYOTO fooking it up for everyone....

the yanks refinarys cant keep uup with the demand for fuel over there, so theya re buying refined petrol form the UK and shipping it out there... so we are left with out refinaries working their nads off and letting the UK public hav ethe fuel 2nd in line.... which means we pay more etc.

but granted the key issude is the tax which in all fairness we cant do anythinga bout for atleast 3 more years..... And even then the northeners will cock it up and vote labour again :(

Its getting pretty bad here too. However i just nip 4 miles over the border to Republic of ireland, and buy my fuel in Euro. Its 1.11Euro a litre there now. But i can buy 42 euro for ?30. So its costing ?30 to fill the Novas
