Are you worried by rising fuel costs?

Dozens of lorry drivers took to the streets this week in protest at record-high diesel prices, which have risen by 30 per cent over the last 12 months.

With oil Giants Shell and BP announcing huge profits in the first quarter, how can the high price of fuel be justified? Are the rising costs affecting you or your business? Is it enough to drive you off the road? Share your views.

    Everybody is concerned about the rising cost of fuel it make the cost of living very expensive and pensioners and some of the lower paid are going to suffer, NOT that this load of MUPPETS are worried
    The only way that the protest of the hauliers will take effect is to make this lot sit up and take notice
    This protest that that have again done will make NO difference
    The onLY way that this lot will learn to take notice, is to GRID LOCK LonDon ,this latest effort is not the way
    Do like French did in Paris GRID LOCK
    They got the answer very quick
    The Petrol Tax CAN be cut,that will be a big help
