I don't think it matters where our fuel or crude comes from if there is any excuse to raise the price the bloody greedy oil companies will exploit it and they will raise prices immediately not wait until their current stocks run out.

As far as I can see, the retail pump price depends on how many red lights the sales manager got on his way to work. That is revised by a random factor, and then adjusted by an arbitrary amount. Nothing to do with Singapore Sweet Crude, North Sea fine, or anything else

'Propliner' is actually short for 'Proper airliner, with big rumbly radials'

I’d recommend the Gaspy app. Crowd driven fuel price reports.

Yeah any negative numbers in there get multiplied by a time lag factor approaching his age divided by 2.

It's rather like paying for fuel in advance, and then applying in triplicate for any refund later.

Sooner we get off the oil dependency the better.
It is a wholly artificial and manipulated construct.
I stick it to them by driving only half as much. :D

Petrol Prices for me...>>>

£1.23p Per Litre, a French word.....(NOT Liter!)!

My cruiser motorcycle Petrol tank holds 2.5 Gallons, (Imperial Measurement), of Petrol (NOT Gas!), and lasts me for zillions of miles!

I just top up the tank with spoon-fulls of Petrol...and sail away!

Paul.... :lol: ...!

A person paid bit coin to drive the prices up for oil, when that person loses their bit coin the price of fuel and oil will come down. Someday fuel will be free. :wink2:
