Fuel prices due to rise in 2011.

In April 2011, fuel prices will rise by 4p/litre to try and get the economy back on it's feet after the 'credit crunch' in 2009.  Also the usual rise of petrol of 1p per litre will be scrapped, but then again the 4p petrol increase just blows that increase away.  The fuel increase is a major problem, in the last year petrol has been increased and now has been increased even further, people reley on their cars every day and this constant increase in petrol could mean less driving for many drivers.  Without cars, other modes of transport will  be depended upon such  as public transport however this might not be such a crisis because if people depend more on bikes then it will drastically help the struggling enviroment.
