Oil Prices And Gas, When Do You Stop

[MMI]

I don't know if you guys have noticed it, but every time I drive past our local garage, the price of petrol has gone up by a penny a litre!

I take another route now, just to keep prices down.

Currently the price is 110.9 pence per litre. That corresponds to about $US8.30 per US gallon.

Do you know of a bigger rip-off?

No, and it was mentioned in the United States today by the American Petrolium Industry, that Oil could reach over the next 2-3 years $200 a Barrel
eveything price wise is out of hand
In 2001 Oil was $32.19 a Barrel, at $125+ now that is about a 450% raise in price, a Broker in Chicago said Friday in his 30 years of Futures Trading he has never ever seen anything go up 450% in 7 years

Absolutely right. It's been going up every day (that I've noticed) although it may have been every couple of days. The cheapest I've found near me is £1.119 per litre - which makes it around £5.09 a gallon or $US9.87 a gallon

And, as we all know, when the costs of fuel begin to rise, then the ocost of everything else rises

Fortunately, I live in the City centre so everything is very handy and I only tend use the car for work (40 miles away) and for the main supermarket shopping trip. On the down side, I have a disability so I do need a car to get places where public transport isn't available. Having said that, the local public transport service is unreliable and expensive anyway.

I've certainly noticed that I use the car less than I used to but the fact remains that I do need a car.
