Im sure this government are doing everything in there power to lose the next election!

The problem is, it doesnt kill off motoring, it kills of motoring for the average man in the street who earns an average wage. All these people that drive around in massive 4x4's, Astons, big mercs and so on, its not going to bother them one jot.

If you can afford to spend upwards of 30k+ on a car, then a couple of hundred quid here and there doesnt make a big difference.

Same for fuel, its the average man on the street that suffers again. If your already driving and affording somthing that does 10-15mpg, then 10-20p a litre aint gonna bother you....

The cure for everything, raise taxes.  At least thats the way the government always seems to think.  Too bad if I needed more money I couldn't just go to my boss and charge more for my services.
