Red or Dead?

[Tony Baloney]

Paid £1.40/litre for diesel this morning. This thread http://gaaboard.com/board/index.php?topic=7424.0 from April 2008 was yapping about diesel at £1.14 and economists reckon we'll be paying in the region of £1.58 by end of the year.

Is there anyone seriously considering fillin up on red? Are the Customs boys more noticeable now that fuel is so expensive?

That fine is not worth the risk for me.

The brother in law used to always say he's been on it so long he's saved more than any fine. I'm the type to get caught first run out!

What is the fine? I'm really thinking about it.

500 quid I think. You wouldn't be long saving that amount if you were doing serious miles. The rise in prices will undoubtedly see a rise in the presence of dippers though.

You see anyone I ask always says £500 'I think', I'd want to know for sure before I started using it

My point is surely the above amount isn't much of a deterrent because as you say you would make that money up in no time if you done big miles.

I think it's a grand if you get caught down south and they take the motor til you pay up

would ye??

My wife has been driving a diesel car for a while never used it. I have just bought a diesel and I'm seriously considering it. £1.31 locally and its real madness why we (motorists) continue to pay it!!

Was talking to a lad who has two tanks in one, one with all red that runs the car and the other (where the dipper goes) with ordinary!!

It's 500 plus loss of revenue for fuel in your tank for a first offence.

MR the auld fake tank was a favourite of hauliers for years apparently. Have to feel for haulage firms as the fuel prices must be slaughtering them.

It was bang on £500 in may when i got done for it

Where did you get done for it? Did they take the car off you until you paid? Do you think you saved £500 by using RD?

Whats the fine if you get caught again?

I've never seen the dippers before, Do they normally have a spot where they hang about? £500 is a bit steep so it's a good deterrent in my book.

How much for the red stuff anyway?
