5 GALLON MILESTONE REACHED
Service station now forcing drivers to pay £5 a gallon

The price of petrol has hit £5 a gallon at a motorway service station for the first time, it as been reported.

It is understood that a service station on the M40 reached the milestone after selling petrol at 110.9p for a litre of unleaded, over the 110p threshold for a £5 gallon.

Although fuel has reached £5 before in smaller petrol stations this is the first time drivers have no choice but to pay, as it is at a motorway services.

Motorists will have to wait until later today to see if Chancellor Alistair Darling chooses to increase the price of petrol further through higher taxes.

It is estimated that petrol is 17p a litre more expensive than a year ago and now costs an extra £8.59 to fill up an average 50-litre fuel tank.

The AA claims motorists are paying £18.41 a month more for petrol than the same period in 2007. banghead

It takes me over two hours to get to work by train, or a MASSIVE 40(ish) minutes by car
It costs around about £15.00 per day by train, even given the current price of petrol, it's cheaper

Public transport is cackwankcackpiss out side of London and I pity the fool who has the misfortune to use it everyday

It'll be a good thing in the long term. We've been needing to look at alternatives for ages now.

Not that anything big'll happen for ages either, though

They'll only put a tax on stone wheels ..... and if they're made of granite you'll pay more for high performance stone wheels. You'll then be taxed on the size of your calf muscles (power)..... :roll:
