Is it just me or does anyone else think petrol is way too expensive these days?

Question

I actually can't afford to drive any more . Last time I went dogging, I had to ask my mum to give me a lift.

Answer 1

very expensive but while we still buy it they will keep putting the price up. everyone is effected by this . you are better off getting a bike then you can pedal and keep fit at the same time. this is what has happened to people nowadays we have become lazy and reliant on transport. get up off your a"s and walk it wont hurt you.

Answer 2

Petrol is not expensive, however the DUTY & VAT the Government place on it is (Which amounts to almost double the actual product price).

If your fuel costs 115p per litre...

The actual product (Petrol) only costs 37.35p,

The Government Duty is 50.35p

The VAT is 17.13p

And the retailer only makes 10.17p

YES, you are effectively driving for the Government!

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

It's just you - everyone loves watching the digits roll up on the petrol tanks.

Get a bicycle for dogging - then you can lean it against the cars and get a better look, anyway.

Answer 6

yes, and it's because companies want to make more money. Fuel prices have also rised to hopefully make people drive around less because they dont want to pay more money for petrol. This helps the environment

Answer 7

Ooh I love going dogging.

Walthamstow greyhounds is the best night out ever

Answer 10

oh no, its just u of course... no1 else in the country thinks its too expensive at all - dnt think any1s really noticed it to be honest!!!!

Answer 11

You bet it is. I live in Arizona and the distances here are long. We're always treated to news articles telling us we're spoiled by the "cheap" cost for gas here, but I truck for a living. Read once that the average long-haul run in Europe was 360 miles; my average over the past eight years is around 2,280. h**l, it's 46.2 miles to my brother's house, and we both live in Phoenix! I think it's high time for a new way of doing things.
