We will be taking direct action and protesting about the failure of the government to act on the major issues effecting the general public at this present time . Fuel tax and high price at the pumps , the fuel companies and big four supermarkets making massive profits from fuel when the barrel price has dropped considerably.

IF you would like to join this protest we are meetin on the 30th september at chester services m56 @7.30 pm arriving at stanlow gate 2 (INNOSPEC) for 8pm. Find our group on facebook 'stanlow fuel protest & direct action group'

I dream of the day that fuel prices drive the idiots off the roads wink

Are you walking to Stanlow gate 2? If not, kind of defeats the object as it's going to cost you to get there and then again when you have to put more petrol in your cars.

I just don't see the point of wasting the money to try to prove a point to people who don't give a shoite think

How would these protests be arranged if nobody could drive to get there? Unless they only lived up the road, it's just something you've got to do.

Just thought i'd add an observation to this thread.

Whenever fuel rises by 1p everyone's outraged. But fuel prices dropped considerably back in October (diesel went from 142.9p to 135.9p) and nobody says a word!

Hard-pressed motorists have received some respite after three supermarkets announced fuel-price cuts.

Sainsbury's said petrol prices at the company's 279 forecourts will dip by 4p a litre, with diesel being reduced by 3p a litre, from Wednesday.

Asda said from Wednesday it would be cutting its petrol by up to 3p a litre and its diesel by up to 2p a litre, ensuring motorists would pay no more than 134.7p a litre for petrol and 141.7p a litre for diesel.

And Tesco also announced it was cutting the price of both petrol and diesel by 3p.

Sainsbury's head of fuel Richard Crampton said: "We know that fuel is a big part of many customers' weekly budget so we're keen to do anything we can to help."

Andy Peake, Asda's petrol trading director, said: " When we do drop prices, we drop them everywhere, setting a maximum national price cap for our customer, which means they all benefit from our low prices, regardless of where they live."

Peter Cattell, of Tesco, said: "Tesco is dropping the price of both petrol and diesel by up to 3p per litre from tomorrow morning. "

You can bet your bottom dollar that the Fuel Duty Escalator will pop another 3p or 4p per litre onto the price of fuel in the budget next week.

I really do hope I'm wrong on this !!!

Fill up whilst it's "cheap" !! raftl
