Gonw up another 1p today at my local shell Garage in Yarm, now 124.9. Gone up 7p in the last 4 weeks

filled up @ 129.9 iirc with bp ultimate! very scary prices! I remember when i first started driving it was nearer 85p! 
the country has gone mad we all need to do something about these high fuel prices as it really is becoming harder to run a car
went to asda in the morning before work, petrol was 108.9 deisel was 116.9, on the way home petrol was 111.9 and deisel was 119.9...
its shocking how these prices are inflating so rapidly, its near every single day they are going up by a penny or two. As said above, we really need to do something as this is taking the piss too far. we are paying around 30-40pence more than less than a year ago.
who ever voted for labour should be shot as they are the sh*test government to rule our country. bring back the conservatives!
also lets talk more on the fuel protest side of things... what should we do ?
**edit**
lets buy some cheap lorrys that are more or less dead for a couple of quid and park them out side petrol stations blocking them. no registration on the vehicle so no trace of owner

Only using the one car at the mo - just cant justify using them both ! - This is bonkers!!!!
Walking the kids to school - yeah and why not, but then we live in a country where we are suppose to have choice... If I choose to use my car to do the school run's then fine, but I shouldnt have to stop and think, hmm school run or weekly drive to tesco's as there shop on line if Naff ..... You get the point...

Saw this online, I think its worthy of doing, I know its been mentioned before alot, but surely its worth a try. Even if a small proportion started it, maybe it would be presented on any news channel, which could promote the idea further?
This sort of thing works by word of mouth and reading / hearing about it, and as everyone is being hit hard by the cost of petrol / deisel, then maybe everyone should make a small effort to try and control the ridiculous pricing.
Boycotting BP and Esso would make the companies complain to the Government for putting Tax prices up to begin with, and then maybe fuel tax prices would become more of a talking point than what it is at the moment.
Again its only an idea, shoot me if its useless! But with that attitude you will be expected to pay more and more for your fuel!!!
See what you think and pass it on if you agree with it
We are hitting £1.20.9 a litre in some areas now, soon we will be faced with paying £1.50 a ltr. Philip Hollsworth offered this good idea:
This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the 'don't buy petrol on a certain day campaign that was going around last April or May! The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to hurt ourselves by refusing to buy petrol. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them. BUT,whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can really work.
Please read it and join in!
Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a litre is CHEAP, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the market place not sellers. With the price of petrol going up more each day, we consumers need to take action. The only way we are going to see the price of petrol come down is if we hit someone in the pocket by not purchasing their Petrol! And we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves. Here's the idea:- For the rest of this year DON'T purchase ANY petrol from the two biggest oil companies (which now are one), ESSO and BP.
If they are not selling any petrol, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit. But to have an impact we need to reach literally millions of Esso and BP petrol buyers. It's really simple to do!!
Now, don't wimp out at this point... keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!
I am sending this note to a lot of people. If each of you send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300)... and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000) ... and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers! If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it... ..
THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!
Again, all You have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all.(and not buy at ESSO/BP) How long would all that take? If each of us sends this email out to ten more people within one day of receipt,all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8days!!! Acting together we can make a difference . If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on.
PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE 69p a LITRE RANGE
It's easy to make this happen. Just forward this email, and buy your petrol at Shell, Asda,Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrisons Jet etc. i.e. boycott BP a n d Esso"

Its great how everyone turned to diesel as it is so much more economical. The govt have obviously got wind of this and diesel is now on avearge 12p a litre higher than petrol whereas traditionally it was always around 5p a litre cheaper than petrol.
This govt will do anything to screw the motorists over
This govt will do anything to screw the motorists over
Yep, thats why it needs some movement by everyone to turn it back! Or try and get a cheaper resolution!
Thats true - The road tax for diesels will probs go up soon too to around the same mark as the petrols... I bought my TDI on the above basis, over the long run it works out cheaper! Seems that ive been bit on the back!
It's still cheaper to run the diesel though - diesel will need to be £2 a litre or more before i'm even tempted back into a petrol. I get around 30mpg thrashing it .... 50mpg if i'm nice.
Petrol would be 15mpg thrashing and 30mpg if i'm nice. Assuming both cost the same to service which they do and assuming I had the money to buy either ( I did) diesel is still the most viable 'alternative'.
