I am wondering if the price is ever going to settle for more than a week on this, and if the Gov has any plans to intervene and help us, the public, out.
Surely in any economy the price of fuel can't continue to rise the way it has recently?
I have been watching my local forecourts over the last few months and noting rises. In the last month alone there has been 2 rises per week. Unleaded is currently at 132c per litre.
This type of rise simply isn't sustainable in an economy that is on the verge of recession. Do the powers that be not realise that Joe Public, faced with rising fuel (and food) prices, is going to stop spending on non-essentials, and when hundreds of thousands do it together then the economy is ****ed.
And I wonder how the taxi drivers and haulage companies are surviving at all? Or any company that has to buy large quantities of fuel.
And with reports saying that oil will be at $200 per barrel by July, I think its time that the Gov did something about it NOW.
