Im spending ~£350 a month just on petrol. f**k me.

I know sh*ts bad right now with all that starving bullsh*t and the dust storms and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings.

Binary Shadow

Yeah its gotten mad, costing over £17 to fill my bike up!!

Beaker

Ive not filled up for about 8 weeks because I barely drive these days, but 116.9 per liter is the cheapest I can find round me.  I was horrified!

$1.81 Ish here.
Coming up to November time last year it as $1.64 and a year before that it was  $1.3xs

Daft. Stock is not the issue the news keeps saying it is supplies and issues with asian shipments and what not. Cartel at work again.

I worked out the other day that if I had had my current car back when I first started driving 8 years ago, it would have cost me ~£12.50 less to fill up, IE, It costs about £40-45 now, it would have cost about £27-30 back then...

In the scheme of things I dont know whether it makes it seem better or worse. In one moment Im thinking its not too bad an increase given the time frame, in another I am reminded that its still a 50% increase :(

Im moving in a couple of weeks, so clearing all the stuff that followed me from my parents house 4 years ago.  I found my 1st fuel receipt for the GTi.  60p for Four-Star, if i remember correctly unleaded was about 12 pence less than that!
