Default Fuel Protests :mad:

Anyone going to participate in a little protest at the cost of fuel? It's not just the Govt sucking us dry but the shear difference in fuel prices around the country. It seems not only Gordon Brown charges us more for living in the South but so does Mr. Shell!

Last night filled up in Birmingham with trusty Optimax at 78.9p per litre. When I got back to Horsham thought I would save myself a couple of quid before fuel prices went up at midnight and Optimax was 83.9p per litre. So today it must be 85.4 p per litre?

All I can say is glad I don't drive a 996 or Range Rover!

Stange thing is when they say its going up 1p a litre or so what they actually mean is more like 2 - 4p, went past a few garages this morning normally 73/74p litre for unleaded now 75/76 - I know I know unleaded, didnt wanna make myself cry looking at the OPTI prices.

I heard that this was going to happen & completely forgot.
Anyone else hear about it?

no-one stopped where i was. bloody stupid idea, you'd use more fuel stopping and creating a jam anyway. Plus protests never have any effect anyway
