Default How much would people on this newsgroup be prepared to pay for a gallon of fuel?

In article , Adrian says...
"steve robinson" gurgled happily,
sounding much like they were saying:

the eu drivers rarely go over to the continient empty .


So why can't UK hauliers?

And carry what? We don't have much manufacturing in the UK in case
you've not noticed.

KotR is always going on about his long distance runs - tank up on the
continent on the way back, then swap trucks for tomorrow with the guy
who's doing a Scotland run, whilst he heads off on the ferry empty. Easy.

The maxium fuel carrying capacity of uk wagons is often different to the
eastern european wagons , quite common for them to run with large belly
tanks under thier trailers


So why can't UK hauliers...?

How does that work for say Howdens Kitchens? Fleet of 40 wagons
delivering to Howdens Joinery stores all over the UK from the factory
in Howden.

PLease tell me as you obviously know more.
