    The pending anti-biking proposals > look likely to reach the UK statute book without too much opposition from the apparently unconcerned biking community. In light of the aforesaid, a poor summer and ever rising fuel costs, perhaps from a biker’s perspective, moving to Venezuela is an option worth considering. :P

    In the South American socialist republic petrol is just 2-3p per litre, the cheapest in the world — that's around 54 times cheaper than prices here in the UK. So if you have a 70 litre fuel tank in your car, you could fill it up in Venezuela for around £1.50. While In Britain it would cost you a whopping £95.
    Prices are kept low thanks to subsidies from the country's left-wing government. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

    i know its not totally justified, but look what we do get for the cost of fuel...
    good quality fuel, free schools, "fairly" good roads, the NHS etc....
    like i said, not justified, but i think id prefer to live in UK (seeing as i use the NHS alot more than most people! hahaha)....

    Plus the cost of getting there & back surely outweighs any benefit?

    Not only that jaydee you have to take into consideration what has to happen to the fuel before we put it in our fuel tank, it is sucked out of the ground somwhere in the middle east, transported to a refinery... refined transported to england, distributed arround england and then stored until we pump it into our fuel tanks, all for less than 1.40! That is one hell of a good deal tbh

    Not a good deal at all when for all that the oil companies get maybe 40p and the rest is demanded by the government to send to india
