CorkerSWFC Â Â 10 #182 Posted April 3, 2011 Best thing to do is try and add a poll m8, i'm sure theres plenty of people sick of getting ripped off, it made me laugh how it's took them so long to knock the penny off, thats how greedy these people are. England as a whole needs to protest !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

iansheff   83 #185 Posted April 3, 2011 I started a thread ages ago and put a poll in asking if people would boycott petrol stations, wonder what the posters think now. One particular poster thought it was a stupid idea http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=636282 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
bogstandard   10 #186 Posted April 3, 2011 The petrol station on Herries Road roundabout is a fool to themselves. It is always empty when I drive past and so is the Total garage on Penistone Road.  I use Shell on Netherthorpe, Waitrose and sometimes Morrisons. Was in Rotherham today and found diesel at £1.36 at Asda.  I cant see people getting rid of their cars, just get a more economical car and use it sensibly. My son recently changed jobs to save £25 a week on fuel without a pay drop. Took a couple of months to find the job though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Vague_Boy   10 #189 Posted April 3, 2011 Better get used to it.  Is Oil Output Peaking or Not? Either Way, Cheap Oil Is Gone for Good  Try reading The Long Emergency or Twilight in the Desert for a good grounding in the concepts of Peak Oil.

perplexed   10 #192 Posted April 4, 2011 (edited) Higher fuel prices don't seemed to have stop people buying large, big engined cars from what I've seen. Neither does it seemed to have stopped them driving at well in excess of the posted speed limits either, on many occasions...  Also, an incredible number of people seem to drive very short journeys, sub 2 , 1 miles, and even only a few hundred yards. If they knocked these silly trips on the head they'd make a difference. Edited April 4, 2011 by perplexed added a bit... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
