It is cheap but it certainly isn't as plentiful as it once was, and it's only going to get harder to come by as time rolls on. The fact that we've all got used to it being readily available means it's going to be harder to adjust to the fact that there is less of it about.
Tax is undoubtedly the major player in the makeup of the cost of fuel, but if you think that'll change if them at 'the top' change you're kidding yerself!
If only the solution were as simple as bricking up the windows and painting them on instead!
