I don't see the point in protesting, it never works, just look at the student protests, they should have spent more time at lectures and doing their uni work instead of protesting

I do like the idea that if prices go up people are going to use public transport. Buses and most trains use diesel so the fares will have to rise anyway.
This 206 IS going on a trackday despite it's every effort to stay at home in the garage!

This is pointless.. Who thinks the government will listen to a bunch of car enthusiasts... Yes Fuel prices are rising, want to do something about it? Go and dig a few holes see if you find some oil.

errrrrr noooooooo the US just doesn't take it in the ass like Britain. They could put petrol to like £50 a litre and everyone would still pay it and just moan it's ridicolous that we pay so much Britain should start producing ethanol which can be used in petrol cars like they do in brazil

the thing that gets me abot the high prices is we are in a "recession" yet the government takes about a pound for every litre sold, an average person puts in about 30litres a time costing about £40. miltiply that by the amount of people that buy fuel everyday and thats a hell of a lots of money...... everyday, from fuel alone....
 

fat exhaust, dodgy rusty bonnet, stickers and steels....
