Just being doing some sums. Lets say Diesel is now £1.40 compared to £1.20 a litre last year. If you do around 5000 miles a year in the van it would have cost you just over £1200 last year and now £1400. Its not exactly crippling when you look at it that way (unless my sums are wrong)
I remember a couple of years ago it going up but then it went back down again. Perhaps this will happen again. I cant see it spiraling out of control. The government will have to do something or people just wont use their vehicles.
I reckon it would have to go up a heck of a lot for me to stop motorhoming as its still a cheap way of having a long trip. Expensive for a weekend but if you dont use campsites (and we dont) then I think its pretty cost effective. We have a scooter though as well so that makes a difference as we dont need to use the van as much when we arrive at a destination.
Its good to keep it in perspective. personally I,ve cracked the problem, I used to fill up when the tank was quarter full, now I fill up up when its half full and it costs the same.
