Petrol prices in the UK is expected to continue to hit new records and reach Pnds 1.50 (Dlrs 3) a liter by the late summer, according to a motoring campaign group.

Petrolprices.com said after crude prices had hit almost $114 a barrel for US light crude, it had revised its prediction and that petrol would hit Pnds 1.50 in September and not by the end of the year.

"If these conditions continue and the government doesn't work harder to stem the rising prices, then we're likely to hit Pnds 1.50 a liter by September," said head of the website, Brendan McLoughlin.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I have to say that I wouldn't be at all surprised by this. The way energy prices are rising now, beggars belief. The British government should cut taxes on fuel and energy, by at least removing the current rate of V.A.T. (17.5%).
