Posted about 1 million times on General Gassing. There's so many reasons why it wouldn't work I can't be bothered to start....

I must spend more time surfing.
Maybe that is the attitude that most people take, and hence why nothing gets done, must admit that i have the same attitude normally to things like this, ( no good unless we all do it ).
But seeing as someone is really taking the piss over fuel prices, maybe it's time we all did something about it.
Just a thought.

Steve.

"If everyone stopped breaking the law the world would be a better place and everyone could have 10p off their tax band as we wouldn't need the £60bn cost to have a CJS".

These ideas fail for all the same reasons as that statement above.

you can run anything that is at least 97 ron

Tesco's fuel is actually 99 and is good value for money

What can the distributer do to reduce the cost of fuel?

Its tax that is putting the cost of fuel up so significantly, its free money to them as every tiny rise in oil gives them a significant increase.... and they dont have to feel bad about ripping us off because they can claim they are doing there bit for the environment while they do it.
In fact this is probably doing exactly what the Gov want and slowing the sale of fuel as consumers cut back due to the cost and use public transport instead.

I could rant all day.... I mean by doing this suggestion we are going to change demand & supply and actually could end up increasing fuel costs.

Bottom line is by the time I have finished my GTT its unlikelly I will be able to afford the V12's thirst for super plus.

It's all relative I suppose. I consume a similar amount of beer as my car consumes petrol and that's £25 a gallon
