AA has warned that Drivers and businesses are becoming increasingly “desperate” after record increases in the cost of fuel. This comes as the price of crude oil in the US hit a record high of $130 a barrel. AA has said that the average price of diesel rose 6.76p to 124.17p a litre between mid-April and mid-May and its said to have been the biggest monthly jump of the decade which comes just six months after the previous record increase of 5.6p.

Lorry drivers are very Angry and are said to be planning what organisers hope will be the largest-ever fuel duty protest in London next week.

AA president Edmund King said that “The price rises in recent days were of a magnitude only exceeded in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, when the price of petrol rose almost 3.5p in a week. With many UK families embarking on their holidays next week, the timing could hardly be worse.”

What do you make of the fuel price’s increasing?

So let’s get it right not only have the government increased road tax they now have increased the fuel prices what they will do next. I have noticed a difference because I used to put in £40 and it filled the tack up but know I have to put in around £50 this is just getting silly.

I can see that many people will travel to get cheaper fuel but this is not the only thing that could happen, because many people could end up loosing their jobs as companies are finding it hard to keep going.
