It wouldn't surprise me. Good point, I'm sure certain families won't be able to keep this up and may have to sell their cars and relay on the unrelayable public service system.

 

The Relationship Between Petrol and Oil Prices

well luckily crude is off from highs down to $89 a barrel today so should ease the pumps a little over the next few weeks 'in theory', if it stays down there until end of december, you should see prices fall back to 95p region for normal unleaded.

 

Just down the road from you, in Dorset

 

I recon I would still make a saving

 

why do half the posts say they were posted yesterday???


this thread is from last week>?

here is some food for thought, say this thread is 1 week old,

in 1 week, has anybody in this thread done ANYTHING to combat the problem??



NOPE

same old, same old, lots of winging but still accepting it, hoping somebody else does something about it instead, honestly its costing you lot about £3 extra per week, its only £3 ??

if £3 per week is really crippling you, what the **** are you doing driving a 20mpg sports saloon

proper bored with petrol price threads now ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz


ps. i just paid £1.11, who bloody cares

 

There has been at least three threads in the last week with the same subject.......

 

but i did not post on this thread yesterday

unless i warped into a wormhole by accident

 

I have a UK classic, it runs on normal unleaded, all be it not as good, but it does.

Ha

 

Well said Micky. If the whingers can`t afford to buy petrol , Then sell the bloody car and shut up !. I hope they keep the price of petrol high and then more poor people will sell their cars and walk and so the roads will become quieter and have less traffic on them = RESULT . The price of fuel will remain high until it runs out in about 2016 ( I think thats the prediction ?.) so seriously folks get used to it , moaning will do no good whatsoever . If you can`t afford to run a Scoob you`ll have to buy something to fit your budget , thats the simple truth. Public transport is non-existant now everywhere apart from towns and cities so the city dwellers will have to walk and the rural types will have to keep their cars or starve.

 

Fuel will never run out.

 

LOL 119.9 at local bp for ultimate, tesco is 109.9 :O

my car took £59 quid other day

 

109.9 down my way but I did have a little smile when I noticed diesel was 111.9p!!!!!

 

yes £3 or whatever big deal who cares.....
we do its not just £3 though is it ,its everytime it goes through the roof used to be in the 80's this year it all adds up and the government gets it all not us.
and yes i can afford the fuel and so will most on here its not the point and yes your probably right i do like to have the odd moan yes im human and british but id rather have the £3 in my pocket and save it up then give it to my kids to buy there own car it years to come .

 

Not in our life time, but sure...it will run out

 

The problem we hav is the government know we all need fuel for our cars. So they will put as much tax on as they like so they hav more money to go on their holidays and to spend on imigrants.
The Government try to get us to use public transport, but it's absolutely rubbish and they know that because they want us to use are cars so they get more money from the fuel tax. Now the cost of fuel has gone over the pound mark it will go higher and higher until there are some sought of protests. The government encourage use to use eco fuel like that biofuel. Once people start using that and that will go up in price as well because the government will make profit out of it.

 

Now that Australia has ratified Kyoto and there are 140 politicans from around the world currently meeting in Bali to discuss "measures" to "combat" climate change, you will see ever more colourful taxes being dreamed up to assis with the "fight"!

 

oil according to lots of reports will run out and get too expensive by 2020


not long to go soon we will be all fighting for fuel like the mad max movies from 20 years ago

im all keen for national protests

 

well if you want some truckers to protest i can proberly arrange that seeing as i am an hgv mechanic and have loads coming in each day whom im sure will be willing although will put a strain on buisness and prices will go up as everythin is transported by lorry!!

 

That is not correct, especially as there is prospectively a find 6x the size of the North Sea offshore Russia (Barrents Sea)

so do you really think it is just the petrol prices that go up,thats being a little stupid. If the trucks need to pay more for diesel to transport everything, then they will past the cost on to there customers who will pass it on to us. So ur weekly shop will be up in price as well. Along with everything else you buy that gets delivered by truck, which is nearly everything .
