In Australia we produce 80% of our own oil but we pay twice as much as the USA because our petrol price is worked out on what they pay for oil in the Philipines. Thats bullshit if you ask me!!!
Just stop buying the ripp offs merchants oil for two weeks and petrol prices would tumble.
The oil pricks in the middle east can only store so much oil for a short amount of time and in two weeks they would be in big trouble because they would run out of storage room, and thats a 100% fact.
If people would only buy enough petrol for their trip and stop filling up it would have the same effect.
Every time we fill up and then go home and park the car in the gararge we are storing their fuel for them so then they can fill up another two tankes and sell it to us at over inflated prices.
[Rant]If the uk govenment put reasonable tax on it it wouldnt be that bad,
we pay road tax, tax on the fuel, tax on the money we pay for fuel we pay tax on the interest we earn on our money in the bank, we even pay tax on the money left when we die not to mention all the stealth taxes they are ramming down our throats im supprised we are still getting immigrants in this shithole of a country[/Rant]
Don't you mean the Fed Res issued it, at interest% to ? ahem... ;)
Don't knock it, five bucks will get you a good gasoline bag sniffing fix! :O
Think yourself damn lucky here in the UK is ?1.20 a litre!!!!
Thats ment to be pounds btw even forums dont like the pound symbol shit we dont stand a chance lol
What the average American (including the likes of Bill O'Reilly) who keep bleeding about the price of gas - just don't get it!
The COST has not increased in the last 10 years!
Yep. the PRICE has more than doubled, but the VALUE of the dollar that buys it has more than HALVED!
Why should the oil suppliers get less revenue just because the Federal Reserve have devalued (mismanaged) the dollar?
No wonder OPEC (etc) don't want oil to be priced by the worthless dollar any more!
And of course you can blame the left wing loonies that don't want drilling in ANWAR and offshore.
Yep, keep paying through the nose for imported gas while making the arabs richer - while you sit on top of massive cheap reserves.
It must make sense - to an American ..........
$10 a gallon in UK?
But the average MPG (gas mileage as the Americans call it) in the USA is only 16 MPG, whereas in the UK it is 34.
So Brits do not shell out that much more on gas then Yanks .......
