“its shame for labour goverment”

“There's a scheme in Leicestershire for people who want to save money on fuel costs by car-sharing. Free to join and use. It's at www.leicestershare.com”

“Karin, Oadby - what about people using 'fog lights' in all weathers? Usually when its a bit dark, you get some fool up behind you lit up like a christmas tree. It makes me laugh, as they must either be that blind that they can't see its not foggy, or are not aware they have them on - and in my veiw, if you are not aware what lights you have on your own car, then you are not fully in controll!”

“Sorry LH not being pedantic, just have to qualify my remark. I meant speeding up to a light that was ALREADY showing red, not a light that was changing from green to red. I mean, just where do they think they are going? Totally agree about those that nip through as they are changing, they are not simply fools, they are dangerous.”

“The people who speed up at a red light and don't brake annoy me more. Particularly when they nearly take the front end off my car!! I think a majority of us are probably guilty of trying to nip through the light and then realising you don't have time and having to brake at the last second now and again!”

“There is much talk of using cars which are more economical to drive etc. I personally never use my car if I can walk or use public transport. However, until goods in the shops are transported via hot air balloon all fuel rises will affect all of us whether it is directly or indirectly so the price rise is rather iniquitous. Going off at a tangent, don't people who speed up to a red light and then brake hard irritate you? They do me. What a waste of fuel by impatient fools.”

“No j leics I don't drive a BMW your well off the mark in actual fact. Ha ha Top Gear and the world according to Clarkson, it must be right then. Then again he's not the only one with a Mickey Mouse degree in a pointless subject is he?”

“I absolutely agree with Daniel and disagree with j, leics (as many do about the majority of your attempts to undermine others). I drive a Vauxhall Astra and although it's not a big petrol guzzling car I have noticed a huge unreasonable difference in the cost of filling up a tank. I would love to be able to afford to buy a smaller more economical car but I can't, and therefore I'm stuck with my current car which now costs considerably more to run through no fault of my own. Tax on tax, the devalued pound and whole bunch of catastrophes this government can be blamed for - I won't be voting Labour again. You'd hope that now Things can only get better, thanks Labour.”

“I see no difference in what car you drive. Whether you drive a larger car or a smaller car the cost of fuel is still far higher than anywhere else on the continent is paying (although as per a conversation I was having yesterday, France is not far behind us). I am quite lucky to have a larger diesel car that does actually do quite a high mileage to the gallon but i still begrudge paying such a huge amount of duty on that particularly when my journey is being made longer driving round the 2 mile wide pot holes on Aylestone Road!!”

“To PB
The position on prices in Germany is not as easy as you think.
Bearing in mind that Oil prices vary daily as do the various currencies against the US dollar we are plagued here with daily changing prices. Diesel is cheaper than the UK traditionally but Diesel cars cost up to 2500 pounds more. As I now drive a diesel I ´can tell you that at my local (cheap) filling station prices varied last week from 1.08 Euros/Litre ( Tuesday) through 1.12 , 1.16 and on Saturday 1.21/Litre. They started the year at 1.04 so the increases are upto16%. The highest prices are always, by some strange coincidence on Friday and Saturdays. The rip offs are pan European and not restricted to Leics.”
