"Here in Bangkok petrol is about 60p a litre, having gone up from about 40p this time last year. Doesn\\\'t seem to much but with a Thai person only earning about £150 per month, it\\\'s quite an increase. The skytrain is now pretty full and they have reduced the price by 20%, journeys now cost from 19 - 40p. Taxis are just about to increase their prices from 55p to 62p for a two km trip,I actually feel for these guys. "

"I live in the UK, #1 If the economy is bad at the moment well when petrol was about £0.9x a litre the GOVERNERDS were getting £0.75 of that. Strange, as it is now £1.2x they must be taking about £1.00 a litre, so they could afford to drop it, this would help the economy and cut the price of electric/gas/food/etc. Yet do you think they will? (LOL). #2 Prices are constantly going UP at the stations/pump, yet they put it up when the price of the barrel goes up NEAR ENOUGH IMMEDIATELY, yet when the barrel drops by a dollar or two (sometimes more), yet soon creeps back up, I DON'T SEE THE BLEEPS PUTTING THE PRICE DOWN. IT'S ALL A RAT RACE CON AND YOU TRAPPED."

"We live in Snowtown, South Australia & today's unleaded price locally is AUD $1.419c per litre (about GBP.57p), we get .04c per litre discount by shopping at Woolworth's Supermarkets (spending more that $30 in one hit - about GBP12), in Adelaide (state's capital) it was about $1.53 pl yesterday. Snowtown is about 150km from Adelaide - it's quiet here now, but the town was world infamous in 1998, when the bodies-in-barrels were discovered in a disused bank vault."

Matt
"Why are we not burning cars and striking like the French - fuel prices have hiked way too high and there is no one out there organizing or doing anything about it - why the English can't complain i really don't know but the cost of fuel has got to go down in the uk or the whole place is going to grind to a shuddering halt - do something NOW and start complaining"
