It is indeed madness, but what choice have we got? 
Other than maybe putting our prices up to compensate.

I mentioned today to an elderly customer that we were getting a fare increase shortly, the first in 3 years and her reply was "you obviously need to make back the fuel increases but she'd more than likely not be able to afford to pay any more" well words to that effect. |

true.....but the public seem to accept fuel going up on a daily basis, not so easy for us though, we dont have the same monopoly as fuel companies do and we need to be competitive to the point of pain. Plus how much can we increase prices by before we to become the Big Bad Wolf... |

our BP price for diesel is 120.9 and is due to go up again when the next delivery arrives although petrol is only 110.9 The problem is that there is an insatiable appetite for diesel these days with diesel cars now being fashionable so diesel prices will soon be 12 to 14p ahead of petrol prices There are alternatives such as switching to lpg but what is really needed is for car manufacturers to bring out diesel/electric hybrids or to adopt the compressed air/diesel hybrid technology we need vehicles which are more fuel efficient then the demand for diesel would go down and so would the price ! |

You should think your selves lucky by having a little car to earn a living, and not a 44 tonne truck doing 8 miles to the gallon and gettting roughly £1.10p per mile, and i know your getting more than that as i am, and i am talking about owner drivers ie 1 man bands like us. i will continue this rant when i am sober, sorry |

£1.22.9 round our way, it's going up every day, ASDA is the cheapest but they only have a few pumps so there's a que of people waiting to fill up, for the extra 2p I'd sooner not wait in a que. |
