In the sun everyday there is a petition to lower the price of fuel and stabilise it.
Up to yesterday the petition was over 55,000 strong!
Any1 on here filled out the cut out and sent it off?

I want to urge people to do it, its up to atleast 60,000 today. We've got to do our bit to try haven't we! 8)

Click the link in speedtouche's post and do your bit :D

Good man maurice :D, makes it easier for people to do it!

Everyday I get the sun I cut the piece out and get some1 to fill it in. I've run out of family now but I will always find some1 to do it 8)

£1 per ltr and everyone would be happy I think. I would be okay with that anyway 8)

problem is a fuel stabilizer will only mean keeping fuel prices at the same as they are now, they need to be reduced

a fuel "stabiliser", which would cut duty when oil prices rise and reinstate it when they go down

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

tbh I am at the point where I think owning an e30 or any uneconoical car is starting to become ridiculous unless you have a real disposable income.

Yeah but like they said on top gear they call cars like the E30 uneconomical but it takes more raw materials, and resources to scrap an E30 and build a battery powered characterless piece of steaming s h i t e that wears a Toyota badge.

I agree with you mate, the world has gone mad.

@ferg- electric cars are a total waste of time imo, they make them to save the planet but you have to plug them into the mains to charge them up!!! Electicity comes from the power station like so where's the logic there ? :mad:
+im not willing to drive around @40mph tops, silently! I love the smell of and sound of an engine, imagine a race between 2 electric cars..... Most borring race in the history of mankind! Lol

@dimebag- it is getting bad mate! Someone on here lastnight said he's getting 8mpg 8O
By me that's 8miles to £6.50

They hava system of stabilisation in South Africa - all it does is delay the evil moment

We need the fuel tax/duty to be decreased - it would be better to increase direct taxation to make up any shortfalls
As I get older I realize that you can't please everyone - pissing everybody off is however a piece of cake
