Ive always just put £20 worth of petrol in my car per week so these petrol price increases never effect me! See you can beat the system!

Oh, give it time! But that is crazy for the UK. Hope some people at least have decent public transport options or are they hiking the prices up for tha also?!?!?jetblacksdad wrote: 27 Mar 2026, 13:30Presuming that is US Gallons = 3.76 litresheadiscrowded wrote: 27 Mar 2026, 12:27 [
What are the gas prices in the UK now? We're over $4/gal
Maybe everyone should just get e bikes.
That works out about $1.06 per litre
We are $1.90-$2.00 / litres
You still got it easy !

Re: Motors
I anyway have to refuel more than once a week and am now refuelling every other day because I am thinking the prices will skyrocket suddenly! But It would not change my opinion of Trump TBH.theraven1979 wrote: 27 Mar 2026, 12:39 Yeah was reading that on the news - Apparently, Americans are now starting to feel the pinch and Trump's popularity is now declining as it's starting to affect his voters. In the UK it's gone up not like massively but I guess 10p-20p extra and to be fair it's rising.

I've just picked up on this thread.
I had a 1l Fiesta turbo a couple of years ago.
The plus point was zero road tax.
That was great for a tight bugger like me.
Unfortunately it got nicked and loss of insurance payout and depreciation on the next couple of cars cost me £5k.

Re: Motors
That's one of the great things about classic cars. Of course, you've got to be into that kind of thing - if you need something silent and comfortable that you never have to repair then a classic maybe isn't the wisest choice, but there are plenty of sheds around from the 21st century that need a load of work just to keep them going too, and a well-sorted classic shouldn't be significantly less reliable. My mid-80s Audi has just qualified for free road tax and it's a perfectly good daily runabout for the mileage I do.
