RE: Urgent Fuel Protest NOW, TODAY

Even tanker drivers doing it isn't going to make a difference to the cost, will just make forecourts run out and cause panic buying. I think everyone should start using alternative fuels instead. I'm hoping to a seperate fuel cell in the boot with a SimTek ECU dual mapped next year, onr for normal fuel and one for Methanol. And if you have a Diesel, start using veggy oil or similar. We'll all have to go this way eventually as oil supplies are running low.

Need something thats not gonna effect the daily driver like these protests do, but something that will effect the government. Like if everybody stopped paying car tax. Will get you in the shit, but its not gonna stop you from driving, but will cost the government.

RE: Urgent Fuel Protest NOW, TODAY

When i heard about it, i too wondered the sence in driving all the way to leicester to moan about fule prices, to then drive back Icon_lol

the theory is mint..

But they should do it the day after a show when people are already out..

I think stu's idea of stopping on the m1 for a picnic is the best idea..

now THAT would cause some shit!

The problem with it all guys, is that the GOVERNMENT havent put any money on the price of fuel...

It just costs more to buy..

And you cant make someone sell you something cheaper just cos a load of loons blocked the M1 for a bit Icon_lol

Just wait till the .gov DO put the tax up!

Oil has indeed increased per barrell, but a gallon of unleaded is still only retailed at about 42p a litre. It's the tax on top that is the real pisser!

A far cry from 13p a litre in Bahrain Icon_lol

Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.
