I like the people who are saying "Diesel is getting cheaper"

No it's not, it's about the price it was a couple of months ago,  it's got a *loooong* way to go before it hits anything I'd consider cheap ..

an American friend for comparison[1] was lamenting petrol hitting $3.45 a gallon,  he asked us how we were all still alive :D



[1] Not an especially useful comparison I grant you, since the two countries are different in too dramatic a way to make any such comparison say whatever you want it to,  not to mention us having to pay the 5% knowing how to spell tax

No, I'd rather it was less than a pound a litre like it should be :)   Saying that £1.20 a litre is "cheap" just raises the bar by 20p that I'd rather not have to find.

With the new plans for satellite tracking being announced it's going to go up again and we get to pay per mile too, and we get higher road duty. 

When you start accepting these plans, schemes etc you're stuffed.  If there was sufficient money, justification and reason to be able to reduce tax at £1.30 a litre, it's still present now the cost of crude has come down...

Gas is getting cheaper too, but my gas bill is still 40% higher ...
