Taxi Drivers
January 12, 2008

How are the fuel increases affecting you? Is your business now suffering because of the hikes in fuel?
Fuel Fool were talking to a taxi driver who has had a successful business for the last 28 years and because of increased fuel costs is now having to consider closing his business as he is barely keeping his head above water..In doing this, he is going to face hardship in paying his committments..
Do you own your own taxi company or are you as an owner driver facing similar situations as the taxi owner above…let us know, we would like your comments on this posting.







I live in a rural part of the highlands for the past 3yrs we have been charged over a pound a ltr for desiel.just now its £1.11 a ltr. what I dont understand is when you complain they tell but we live on the Island of Skye its got to get tankered up here thats right but its got to get tankered to Dumfries as well, so why is it cheaper down there.
I own a volkswagon urbanbus in the space of a fortnight it went from £50 to £70 to fill her, one of the reasons for this also is the co-op took over the local garage the first thing they done was put up fuel prices and stopped taking bunker cards. Being in the taxi & tour trade we are being peinalised all the time even for living in a rural area.
Thanks for giving me the oppertuinity to have a say

why all uk quiet fuel price high like gold.
I agree with a mehmood. The site is getting a huge amount of visitors to it however for some reason the UK motoring population just dont seem bothered about the fuel price increases and dont want to sign the petition that may help us ALL.
The site is free to use completely and has been set up as a voice for us all but motorists just dont seem bothered.
