Fuel prices to rise sharply?....
http://www.reuters.co.uk/newsPackage...2§ion=news
Apparently the amount we pay for fuel at the pumps is pretty much what it was in 2000 (fuel protest year), yet crude oil prices are almost 50% HIGHER! Factors such as weak dollar and lower profit margins for sellers has meant we havent see much of a rise (unlike US where fuel has risen almost 40% at pump). So thats great news, sounds like we can look forward to 1 pound per litre for optimax soon then! |
Still cheaper than.....Beer! Wine! spirits!:D

Nah, doesn't bother me either as I'm LOADED!!
And have a more economical 2nd and 3rd car! Bring it on ......... make the roads quieter, price the poor off them! :D Pete |
Remember what happened to the luxury car market after the first oil crisis? There are going to be a *lot* of cheap secondhand BMW X5s and lardy ass Mercs on the market soon.
UB:) |
Petem95: The factor that means we've not seen much of a rise, is that 80% of the cost of fuel in the UK is tax anyway - it's nothing to do with a weak dollar or profit margins. The US has seen a much higher rise for the simple reason that the oil price is a much greater proportion of the pump price to begin with.

yes thats horrendous. the govt should understand that we're all forced at gunpoint to use our cars and as a result should subsidize us all *******izing the environment.

do tell :) Also, I don't think I'm loaded - others do! Most people on here earn more than the National Average Wage of £35k, or they couldn't run an Impreza properly ..... Pete :D |
National Average Wage of £35k I wish....I must be a pauper :cry: Or is the £35K the average for benefit payouts per Chav ;) |

You drive round in your Subaru getting speeding fines, they sit on their arses and watch you on police camera action! |

I do not speak to many people who earn a N.A.W. of £35k, must be that I live in a deprived area, or even mix with the wrong people, mind you of what I see on the TV may be they are the kind I should befriend. |
