    Petrol @ £1.30 a litre, a little tear runs down my cheek every time i fill up. I just submitted some expenses for a course i did a few weeks back, i used Mrs M's car so i claimed 40p a mile private mileage, but i was claiming 40p 10 years ago, why hasn't HMRC put up the allowance???

    I have questioned this. FFS, you can claim 20p a mile wear and tear on your pushbike, but I can only claim 24p a mile when I go on the motorbike. So assuming the same level of wear and tear (even though it is actually MUCH higher), that leaves 4p for the fuel. Doesn't come close

    Dont get me started on fuel expenses the MOD is about to start raping me on mine!

    As for protests, this time its not really the Government increasing it huge amounts in tax, its the cost at the oil coming out the ground. All that protests would do this time round is bring the country to its knees when its only just off the ground economy wise. Sucks but its one of those things.

    Think we should get used to it as lets face it, petrol is only going to get more and more till we are all using EV's.
