Fuel rant whinge moans hate fuel prices bah
 

I've had the Bandit just under 4 years now.

When I got it, it cost me £17 and a few pence to fillup from empty.

Stopped this morning in an anal probing Tesco this morning, £1.30. So Tesco, every little helps? whats that, every little inch further your thrusting inside my sphincter?

Todays fillup cost £24.50.

Ironic how the fuel prices went so high due to barral costs. Funny how its below $90 per barral now, yet the prices are going up and up. And what can we do about it, nothing at all.

So im spending now £6.50 per TANK of fuel more now than I was a few years ago? Gone are the days of watching the litres go up before the £££..

Yes its a rant, no, no-one will do anything, im jsut ranting. Im so chuffing angry. Can't buy a diesel car, that costs stupid amounts to filup a normal car now. What, £75-£80+. The old VXR was a 52 litre petrol tank. Cost us £45 to fill up 5 years ago. Current S3, same size tank, £70......

Rant over, for the short term...

Government = :smt097

From Fact of the Day:
" Forty years ago we went decimal.
Petrol was 3 gallons for £1 so you'd brim a just-on-reserve SV tank.
Welcome to the world of inflation."
When I got my first bike I could ride from Surrey to Glasgow & BACK for £20

I'm still impressed with the fact they can build a rig in the middle of the sea, drill, extract, refine, transport, do some chemistry stuff, transport it to the petrol station and sell it at £1.30 a litre with billions of pounds of profit each year....

A bottle of volvic on the services is around £1.89 and that's just rain which has been cleaned and bottled.

Yup, but you get twice the mieage out of it :)

My diesel car costs about £10 more to fill up than my petrol did, however I have gone from ~250miles on a long run to now about ~500+ (had 300 miles out of half a tank once) on a full tank. Well worth the change imo.

What, and not be a snobbish prude who thinks he's better than everyone....? Becuase thats what private plates mean :lol:

I was just on a rant. Filled up, at a superstore, for a huge price per litre.

I remember going jetskiiing. Jerry can would take £20. Jetski would take £20. That was a days jetskiing there.

From what I hear, it costs over £100 for the same day out these days. But this was when petrol was 48.9pl though.

Just can't believe in such a short space of time, that the cost has gone up so much, on the same bike.

Prices will go up sure, but the reason prices went up were due to barrel costs. Barrels cost less now, but we're paying a huge amount more (VAT won't do that much).

Shafted as they know they can do it, and we need it so will continue paying for it.

I just wonder how so many people can fill up their car so many times at these kind of prices? Once per week say, £70 fillup, thats £280 just in fuel alone per month. Mental. Makes my plan of getting a small car, more of a dream than a real plan :( Boo hoo :lol:

When I did my tax return, I had spent over 3k in work diesel alone last year.
Thats without the personal mileage, the KTM or the Daytona eiter.

Im thinking £20 every time I take it out for a ride this summer :(
