But do you think it will make any difference ? I know its hitting our business hard as people are less inclined to repair their car when its costing them so much to run. So for me personnaly i'd like to see the prices drop by 20p at least . What do you think?
I don't think protesting will make any difference. People generally just need their car when they have one - I know very little people (if not none) that decide to leave their car and take the bus because of the high fuel prices. And in the end we sort of get used to the higher fuel prices over time anyway. I think the fuel is just over €1.50 per litre here now (£1.05...) - I remember people were shocked when prices just hit €1.40 (£0.98...) - now that just seems cheap.

Lol you should come to The Netherlands - like I said £1 is cheap or go to Turkey for that matter - over there you easily pay £1.15 per litre... But it's not like the Turks don't drive their cars because of the insane fuel prices. Whatever governments charge for fuel taxes - people will always drive.
