The price of a barrel of oil has hit record levels – sky-rocketing by 25% in the last four months alone. With petrol prices now averaging 110p a litre across the UK and all six energy providers increasing their tariffs already this year, how concerned are you about further oil price rises?

i think its a concern for most people,in particular ,the elderly,and those who live in rural area's,but even families are begining to struggle,coupled with high gas and electric bills,and food getting higher as well, the debate on fuel tax,is the thing,and i have every sympathy for the haulage industry, who are going to the wall over this!, what i don't understand is why opec isn't pumping more fuel, in the short term to allow some respite?,if the markets let oil get to $200 dollars a barrell as the scares suggest,we may as well all pack it in!
