Can I just say this to put the 'fuel & oil' issue into perspective:

Cost of a litre of fuel:
PU50 - 118p per litre
EN590 - 132p per litre

Cost of a litre of beer:
Peroni - 800p per litre approx.
Stella Artois - 500p per litre approx.

Now,
Which one is harder to produce?
Which one is shipped from pillar to post?
Which one is the cheaper?

Stop f.ucking whining!!!!!

Matty - So you're saying it's perfectly reasonable to pay nearly 4 times as much for the same product as the americans do, and 1/3 more than the Europeans do?

You happily pay £3 £4 for a beer so why not pay £1.30 for a litre of fuel? It's slighty confusing.

I dont mind the price, its not even a necessity.

Petrol is a piece of piss to produce and transport and anyone who says it isnt, is talking out their collective tree hugging arseholes

I want anyone banning from here that is prepared to pay £3.00 for a pint.

If you do pay it, the Bunker is way too good for you.

I will happily pay £4 for a delicious pint of Peroni from Pave on Prinny Ave and £3 for Staropraamen(?) clappp

A nuttier argument I have never heard.

Is Gordon Brown taxing the US now?

I've just got this email at work.....

"Hi

Located you on the bio diesel production web site linked from petrol prices

We have the sole UK license for a product that you should take a look at, as its diesel replacement, not bio diesel, and takes 1/4 if the time that it takes you to make your bio diesel, and this product works on ALL diesels, my boss runs his 12 month old Range Rover on it!

Have a look, and try the product!

http://www.lowcostdiesel.co.uk

Looking forward to a long and happy relationship with you

regards"

Surely this will destroy fuel prices?

They have mine too. I just dont want to give them my money.
