Soon the journey to Football will be more expensive than the ticket to get into the ground!!!

I hope the slippery pig is going to sort this madness out soon.

£1.59 at Morrisons but you can pay half that if you've got a mate with a fuel card.

All of you pinning your hopes on electric vehicles; are you aware of how reliant that industry was on Russia for materials?

The rising cost of petrol has no effect on me.
I only ever put £20 worth in.

If you can run a bus on it, you can run a car on it .
