mrsfactor drives quite a lot for work and I reckon it'll cost us around 50p a week.
The government can't keep putting it off for ever so either they should scrap the whole idea permanently (and risk upsetting the greens) or they should just do it.
I'd rather see taxes go up on petrol than see those fiddly proposed charges on motorway driving

My car uses diesel which is £1.45 litre at neared garage. On a point of principle I use the car less frequently as I object to the cost of fuel. Local trips to the village I either walk or use my bicycle. Longer journeys are planned around bus routes and I use my bus pass. Heavy grocery loads are delivered f.o.c. by whichever of local supermarkets has best offers.
It's also being stated that families are already dipping into their savings or going without essentials. So more will be a real tipping point for some especially since they will also be squeezed ad food etc goes up due to higher delivery costs.

3 pence may not seem much but its another increase which when you add it to the recent increases in Energy and the cost of living in general makes it more significant.
The price of fuel puts me off day trips or anything that is over a set amount of miles. With the rises in other living costs I am unwilling to spend money on anything unnecessary.
