age -related fuel prices fill up your TR7 for £15 or your MK1 jag for a fiver and let all the company car driver's pay £5.00 per gallon as it's all the sales rep's that clog up the road's in there Mundanos on there way to a
" important meeting " about JD in acc not getting his figures on ips3 correct or some other usless thing like that anyway have fun

Welcome to the forum!

As far as I know the fuel tax increase has been delayed to september, or so they say, although I'm sceptical myself, our current government isn't the best at telling the truth, (so where exactly is Saddam's huge, launch-ready arsenal of WMDs these days anyway?) and it sounds a lot like electioneering to me. Either way when it does go up we're about to get shafted again.

TEXTWelcome to the Forum!

Yep,it seems any rises are to be delayed until September (or at least until after the Election!)

We demand pics! You must know someone with a half decent camera!
;D

Welcome along Tailgatelifter
Yeah the budget is a nonsense isn't it? Brown had already held off a tax hike on fuel because he feared an uproar... just have to hold our breath til September (86p a litre anybody?! ).
7p on a packet of cigs too. .
And beer.
If I was more paranoid I'd think he was targeting me specifically!! ;D

8-)it's not so much if it go's up but when i think .......i only have 27 year's to go till i get £ 200.00 back of my council tax bill which is nice
but remember 5p on a liter is about 22p a gallon i don't know anyone who looks at there mpg in " oh i do 6.3 to the litre " that sound's so curse word you would kill yourself.not that I'm bitter and angry that i only ever feel screwed at the Budget god imadgine how i would feel if i smoked and brank beer
