F**k the Queen. ****ing ridiculous. My cost of living pay rise ain't coming nowhere near to covering that - if it's true.

We are at £1.169 here at the moment with the price of a barrel of oil at $80. You can expect that to go up to $150 as the economy 'picks up'.

The value of the £ keeps dropping, it will drop even more if we have a hung parliment.

Then there the tax increase in April of nearly 2p.

Its going to start flying up.

Cost of living increase? hah I got a paycut this year =p
I've got 23 litres into a 20 liter tank before...confused the heck out of me!, may be worth testing these pumps accuracy one day with a couple of Jerry cans.


£1,13 here, and nearer £1.20 at some of the london stations on my way in.

Even so if it goes £1.50 a litre It'll be criminal, won't be worth doing my 2nd job anymore due to the fuel cost to income ration meaning I'll get about £3 an hour....It's hardly worth it at the moment...

SURELY they will have to cut tax down to something more sensible if it goes that high?...oh right...who am I kidding.

Used to get through about 14 litres doing approx 100 miles however hard or soft I rode...I don't own a Firestorm any more!

Me too, 12.5% paycut to be precise, it was across the board alledgedly.

The only upside to the 600rr is you can get good economy, but you have to be really boring to achieve it. I once got over 100miles to half a tank on it going up to scarborough to watch some racing at olivers mount. That was pretty much 65 - 70 the whole way behind my GF's dad again though.

Maybe a Kawasaki 250 or a 125 or some sort lol. Same fun at slower speed and 60+mpg

I can get nearly 60 mpg (although about 45 is more realistic) out of the VFR, I'll just be very bored doing it. Normally I'll get about 30 mpg.

I filled up the Volvo a couple of weeks ago, I bottled it at £70! That was standard UL at 112ppl If i get 300-350 miles from that i'll be happy

Just be glad you don't have to fill one of these up. 386 litre tank!!! That's £440 @ 1.14 a litre

Back to the bike, when I first got it in 2008 I could only fit £12 in the tank. Now it's more like £17

If the petrol price goes that high this year, im just gonna flip out
We need to take action, the barrell of oil price doesnt reflect pump prices when it goes down only up.
Makes my blood boil, just remember on polling day, labour have spent all your money, now wanna tax the crap out of us to recover some back.
We need to do what they did in 2000, petrol price were stable for something like 18 months after with no increase at the budget or anything.

What we gonna do, riot? I can't afford to make any molotovs...
