HeadingNorth Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Unless your employer dictates the price you pay for fuel, then a strike would be spectacularly pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabelle Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I paid 122.9p this morning for petrol. I could probably get it cheaper somewhere else, that particular garage is always expensive, but I left it kind of late. Won't the prices go up in January anyway with the VAT rise?

Fartown Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 If you were to tell your employer you weren't going to go to work and you were quite happy to damage the company because the price of oil (and hence the price of road fuel) was going up, what do you think that would do for your job prospects? How does the demand for road fuel at Christmas compare with the demand in summer? If 124.9p looks bad now, how will it look next summer compared to 150p?

How far away from your work do you live? Is no other form of transport possible for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbladerob Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 well I get the train most of the time but surelt this will go up too if the price of fuel overall is going up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecky Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 No it won't because people are selfish and greedy, me me me, and the suppliers know this and charge what they want. People are prepared anything to get what they want because after all, they consider themselves to be better than anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fartown Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 well I get the train most of the time but surelt this will go up too if the price of fuel overall is going up? Isn't the price of train tickets supposed to be going up by considerably more than inflation anyway? If the price of oil goes up, (or if the cost of oil in £ goes up) then the price of anything which travels anywhere is likely to go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
