FUEL PROTEST

last time I was in London I heard there were too many cars on the road. Is this why they're doing this? I got the impression that the public transportation was really, really good, though I guess it's not the best outside of London?

The reason they are doing this is because of the continuous rise in fuel prices..It is, at the moment, getting rediculous, and yet more charges are apparently on the way....

How much of the price of a liter (or do you buy UK gallons?) comes from the various taxes and surcharges?
 
We're feeling it over here at $4.00 and up a gallon at most gas stations (I know, I know, you guys are rolling around on the floor at that price). One one hand, it's a good thing, because people are much more interested in investing in technology which is good for the environment. On the other, my fiance drives 120 miles to see me every weekend. While he has good fuel economy...grrrrr. Plus, in LA, there are two decent lines of public transportation and a couple lines that may decide to be nice, or may decide to make you half an hour late. All the rest are complete junk, usually. It's ridiculous because, as someone who used to take the buses, taking public transportation exclusively is not an option. It's really bad.

Edit: Hey! We're almost even now!
