£250k to fist time buyers only, so you have another £20,000 to look forward to losing using on your first home

it's only a 3p rise and that's phased in from April through to January so where they get a 5p increase now beats me  ::)

I pumped £30.`s worth into the 'pup-mobile' at Asda 118.9p/l at 10.45 this morning.....passed 2 hours later; 122.9p/l.

.....blatant profiteering! >:(

I can see a time (quite soon) when I wont be able to run a car at all......it`s standing outside the house most of the week as it is; due purely to the cost of fuel. ('anywhere' from here, seems to be 50+ miles of low-MPG type roads each way)....what between heating-oil and petrol: fuel is now, by-far my biggest monthly outgoing. :'(

Any rises in fuel today cannot be blamed on the government. It's more to do with the pound being worth $1.485 and the retailers profiteering.

My missus does about 240 miles a week in her 1.6 astra, works out at £30. I'm certainly glad I got rid of my omega and my alfa. Oh,and my ZT, that tinker was giving me about 22mpg.

Profiteering should be a 'Capital' Offence! We all know businesses must make a reasonable profit & shareholders expect a reasonable return on their investment, but this is just taking the pith! >:(
