Yeah noticed it.

Whats it going to take to get cheaper fuel?

I think rolling road blocks like the go slow rides shave been most effective but is any of it going to make a change?

Also just reading the doc, what is a "acceptable level"? Could be a wide span of prices dependant on who you ask.

Listen carefully I will only say this once, one day in the near future we will look back on today's price and think it was cheap. I'm not kidding either.

I'm ****ed off with even thinking about it any more to be honest, a bit like the workmate who moans about his bad back all the time. It is what it is and won't be changed by a few dawdling truckers, the winners are those who can find alternatives to their dependence on it or reduce their need.

As high as it is, it's still a fair way from making you decide whether to drive to work or go without food / electric etc. It would probably have to triple before it became really serious and the car would be a supreme luxury to use on Sundays etc.
