It was reported on TV Today that fuel prices could rise to a record £1.50 per/l by summer 2008.

This could cause misery across the country as the price of everything will be forced to rise. Almost everything we depend on is related to the price of fuel, if it is delivered by lorry, the increase in the costs of delivery will be passed onto the consumer! –Be sure the nations energy suppliers will take full advantage, the cost of gas and electricity will be sure to take another big price hike!

The cost to Gloucester Taxi Drivers will also be huge if the price rise prediction goes ahead, many local drivers already spend between 5 and 10k a year to keep their Taxi in fuel, a near on 50% rise in fuel costs would need to see a sharp rise in the tariff charged to the customer, just to keep the local Taxi services viable.
