It's all very well putting the prices up again and again. When is the tax man going to increase the 40P per mile allowance? It's stayed the same for years.
Anyone thinking of going back to just claiming the vehicle running expenses?
There must come a time soon when this would be the cheaper option, even for those of us that put in large mileages. Dai

I've always claimed the actual running costs rather than the 40p a mile.  I never even knew about the mileage rule until about a year ago.

Well I had an email that really ought to be circulated. It suggests that instead of everyone boycotting fuel stations for one day which lets face it we are all still going to have to use them, lets instead boycott the 2 biggest. These being Esso and BP. Now surely if everyone does this they will be forced to reduce their prices to win back the customers. This then should have a knock on effect. Sounds good in principle but it needs a hell of a lot of people to do it.

Not forgetting that not everybody cares enough about it to do this.
