Don't raise the price and the pumps won't run dry. Dumbasses.

Only thing it doesn't help to load up with credit, because it will affect credit even though you took it out 5 years ago So I guess no rush here
Well, with yet another price increase, maybe you'll all find these petrol saving tips useful:

Some months, cash flow got so bad that I parked my car and rode the taxis for about 3 weeks, I was suprised how much money I saved!

does anyone know how much of the fuel price is tax/road tax/accident fund etc? I mean what is the actual cost of the fuel less all the other charges? surely they could just reduce the other charges slightly and this would bring the price back down? arent there more people driving cars now? so surely they should be able to lower these other chargers?
