Your advice is fine and dandy if you are talking about local distances, but many many people have to work.......and unfortunately for them the work isn't always on the doorstep. Transport is necessary, and you cannot rely on public transport if you have a job with even slightly unsocial hours I'm talking 6pm here...... as some buses stop running at 5pm. Shopping......now there is another thorny problem, mother with two children needs to stock up her cupboards.......corner shops are long gone......their demise hastened by the likes of Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's........ walking to the shops might prove no problem,but coming back with the children and bags of food........?does the mother buy a donkey and cart to take her to the shops and bring back the food? Do you live in the real world? Do you live off beer and fags? I'm pretty sure you will have a smart come-back answer........but for some people a car is a necessity. |

Re: The rising price of Petrol
It's easy money, as simple as that ! Governments all over are raking it in to fill budget holes so sadly it's going to be a fact of life & it ain't going to get any better ! Living in Germany we do have some limited choices, we can cut across to Holland to fill up. Saturday morning 8 pumps 6/7 cars queuing at each pump, all German registrations & this goes on all day !
Then there are the other borders Poland/Austria/Belgium/Czech Rep/Luxembourg just to name a few & most of these have considerably less duties on their fuels so we get "Tank tourists", it worried the Germans that much there was talk about garages in Border areas getting dispensation to reduce the fuel price to stop people buying abroad ! Sadly in UK you're stuck on an Island so can't benefit by such an expedient so the Government of the day have definitely got the Public by the Pubics ! |

Re: The rising price of Petrol
Just for Less a bit more information
Sainsbury's Fuel - Company Information - PetrolPrices.com supplied by BP they think Asda Fuel - Company Information - PetrolPrices.com used to be Teaxaco or Esso now their own brand Morrisons Fuel - Company Information - PetrolPrices.com once Shell then Texaco now their own brand Tesco Fuel - Company Information - PetrolPrices.com once Gulf,Texaco or BP now their own brand, but have opened Tesco Express shops at Esso sites So you see nearly all the big supermarkets sell their own brand of fuel, but where do they get it. They buy it on the wholesale market and it is whoever is cheapest on the day, it could be BP, Shell, Total or anybody else frankly. ;) |
Re: The rising price of Petrol
Surely if everyone avoided buying petrol at either a BP or Esso filling station it would have some impact on their sales.
However, the government is laughing all the way to the bank because of the windfall in tax caused by the rising prices. Don't the fools realise that this rise is going to affect almost everything that is hauled around the country? A hike in inflation is just what we need right now!(NOT) |
