No, I definitely not agree the high price on the petrol gasoline. Now it is well above $3.35 per gallon, and someone told me that sooner this summer time, by July the price will be up to $5.00 per gallon. We just can't afford it though. That is the highest price we ever get. Should the government do something about it at least.

No way gasoline is so high and it changes everyday sometimes twice in a day I think it is ridiculous!! This Country as well as other countries can not afford the prices of gasoline these days! I wish they would leave it alone!!! Can they not just make it one low price for all of us? Yea like that would ever happen, not!! We can only wish right? Have a nice day!

I went to the supermarket to buy some food and the shop assistant gave me a voucher for 2 pence off per liter of petrol. It was very little money off and I filled my car up with unleaded petrol. I like to use a Nectar Card when I get petrol because it gives me points. I think that petrol costs are very high indeed. I do not agree that fuel costs should be this high. I don't like it when the prices keep jumping up and up. The rising cost of petrol is a shock for many motorists I think.

The oil futures, which determine the price at the pump are increasing. People are making millions upon millions of dollars all at the cost of the normal person. If they get much higher, I am not sure how I am going to be able to fill my tank when it needs it.

Whether we like it or not, there is nothing we can do as long as we are under the control of large and greedy oil companies, what we can do however is lessen our consumption by a well organized global effort, maybe if we lessen the demand, they will think twice before going on a price hike. We should also explore more alternative sources of energy to lessen our dependence on oil and oil derivatives.

No, I don't agree with the price of fuel, especially here in the UK where most of it goes in taxes. Apparently it is going up again in 2011, which is going to make it even harder to keep more of what we earn. But there is nothing I can do with it, so I guess I'll just have to pay whatever they want and we are all really in the same boat. _Derek
