what is it recently with higher fuel prices? they seem to have gone up about 10 p a litre in the space of 4 weeks? my local supermarket was selling diesel at 98.9/l today!

I wish it were only 98p here. We're back up to silly money again, £1.07 last week and I heard it went up another tuppence today.

This just means I'm going to have to start commuting on the bike next week. Bit of a hassle when you've got a uniform but needs must. At 22mpg the car's expense is getting ridiculous.

Its a p*ss take. I have an SV and a 1.9 TDI Golf. Only a 34mile round trip to work but its costing a ruddy fortune with all the ride outs on the bike as well. I just don't understand how diesel is more than petrol. You can use veggie oil ffs.

Isn't it because diesel is taxed less than petrol, so any change in the oil price affects diesel more than petrol, as the 80% tax acts as a buffer on petrol.
