Re: You know when you have been royally shafted....
Oh great... I had just gotten used to cheapy petrol.. what happened to the old £0.92/l unleaded about a month ago.....
It all needs a giant tidy up and it needs to be monitored fairly. If they sell petrol at £0.95/l as opposed to £1.15, they'll still be some of the richest people alive...... I had world.

Re: You know when you have been royally shafted....
I remember when I first passed my driving test and I worked in a petrol station. The manager raised the price of unleaded to the unheard sum of 74.9p. I remember saying to her that nobody would pay it as it was WAY too expensive.

Re: You know when you have been royally shafted....
I remember petrol being 80p!!
If petrol goes too high, Im seriously considering using public transport for work and using my car on the weekends only. I refuse to pay more than £1.20 per litre. And before anyone says that public transport is just as expensive, I get to travel for free across the whole of london
