But what else can you do. We're an oil based economy, the problem here isnt the price of crude, its the fact that alot s of the price you pay at the pump goes to the government in tax and every budget they put the fuel duty up again. IIRC its going up another 3p per litre shortly.

Not buying petrol only works for so long. To blame the oil companies completely for the price of petrol is also IMHO a little short sited...
