Sorry, no good news on petrol prices today. A leading company which monitors fuel prices nationwide is forecasting that the recent high mark of £1.20 per litre will be left far behind because of tax, the current economic crisis and speculators.
One of the hardest facts for motorists to understand is how our current government can continue to take ever more increasing sums of fuel tax from motorists and not spend that tax collected on transport matters.
There is a question posed by the Daily Telegraph today which asks if drivers are leaving their cars in their garages and using alternative transport.
It seems that the suggestion is that government figures show that the more fuel costs the less we drive.
