well we are averaging about 90p a litre at the moment ($1.63 according to xe.com), though tax hasn't gone up for for some time i seem to remember. Mr Brown is to shit scared of a return of fuel blockades/ protests. Makes me glad i own a mini, even when ragging on relatively short journeys it will do close to 40mpg
When i'm in the city i guess it makes me use it less, but home in dorset i have little choice, sure its the same for alot of people....... no reliable alternative to a car.
