Well I filled up our Fabia vRS this morning at our local ESSO petrol station and looked up at the price of the diesel £1.18.9 a litre! Now the vRS has a 45 litres tank capacity which means it's now costing me over £53.50 to fill up a if completely empty!!! How much longer can this go on the way the price of fuel is going could cause major issues for the economy because if it's costing so much to fill up your car just to get to work etc. then your not going to have the money to spend on other goods especially luxury goods!
I was listening to the radio on the way to work the other day and they had a business specialist on who said that they are predicting the cost of diesel will rise to £1.50 a litre by September 2008. That will mean running a small car that can do over 400 miles to a tank of diesel will cost over £65 to fill up and my Golf GT TDI which has a 55 litre tank will cost over £80 to fill up.
Role on the fuel strikes again I say this country is spiraling out of control!!!

It is a pain, isn't it! I teach people to drive in a diesel fiesta, and although I get close to 50 mpg out of it, it's still something that has caused me to put my lesson prices up.
Still, the solution is simple. Use less. If demand reduces, prices will fall.
Alternatively, stop using it altogether, and wait for 50 million years while the current crop of organic material decomposes into hydrocarbons.
