Are you worried about the cost of fuel?

Kev Reilly: Crazy prices, the motorist is always the cash cow for the Government. When will be the point when people say enough is enough? E10 fuel hits the pump at the price of Vpower and standard E5 is now nearly £1.70 per litre. Yet the Americans and other nations enjoy the luxury of burning it for fun.

Maria Parker: More people in the north east work at a business premises than in other regions, impacting on household budgets far more than elsewhere.

Jane Lawson: Horrified by price of everything going up in price. Things are hard enough!!!

Paul Mills: There's absolutely nothing we can do about it so why worry about it.

Steve East: They're just try to force people into driving milk floats.

Josh Hunter: Price has gone up and doesn't last as long as it used to.

Heather Richardson:

Fuel is bad, however if anyone's had their energy bills in you'll need to prepare. Mine had gone up about 60%, I was genuinely shocked!

Janet Adie: This new e5 petrol doesn't go as far as before so it's a no win situation.

Robert Duke: I think the suppliers need to start worrying because they are charging more to cover their losses, charging too much forcing people to take the cheaper option of pubic transport so will soon see sales drop through their greed.

Robert Brown: Greedy oil companies, everybody should down tools until the big oil companies and the Government get their act together pure greed, the motorist in this country is purely and simply a cash cow.

Smithy Wilkins: Not really, it's probably a fiver extra on a fill up compared to pre covid.

Connor Bell: Crime will starting rising more associating with it shortly. People will start pinching it and syphoning it out of cars.

Jonathan Belassie: It’s terrible.
