Fuel prices - Beyond a joke now

parishpaver · Post: # 74847Post **parishpaver** Mon Mar 05, 2012 7:06 am

Fuel is still cheap in my opinion.

How much would I have to pay even the cheapest labourers to move all the gear that on my tranny tipper right now to the job 4 miles away...and how long would it take them?

Â£1.50 a litre is annoying I know.

But Guinness is nearly Â£6 a litre in the boozer.

.......you don't need guinness to earn a few bob. Fuel along with vat and any other stealth tax is way to high. We need more demonstrations. I'm going on the nhs march wednesday, need to at least try.

guinness Â£2. 50 a pint in my local mon-thurs
Â£3 at weekends

as for fuel it is what it is
I will still be buying it when its Â£5 a litre (god willing)
oil is running out and there is way too much reliance on it

Just out of interest anyone any idea when it will run out?

Sorry Sean....I'm a bit confused.

You're going on a march for the nhs, who are presumably moaning about their pension being messed with and you're also complaining about the taxes needed to pay for all these generous public sector packages.

Where should they get the money from then?

Oil will never run out...only be economically unviable to mass produce.

At some point, cost of extraction and refining becomes cost prohibitive.

Also remember all that drilling, pumping and transportation USES a lot of oil too.

This guy had a theory on when oil production would peak and start to decline.

Hubert's peak

Oil will always be available but will increasingly be only for the better off in society.

IMHO peak oil was reached at least 10 years ago
saudis reserves are massively overstated
as PP correctly says there will always be oil but where the saudis can extract it from the desert for 10 bucks a barrell,it costs more like 40 bucks when you start doing the serious deep drilling like deepwater horizon
all very well looking for oil in the falklands but getting it from there to here will cost a pretty penny too
I own shares in certain oil companies mainly because we still rely on it and there is less and less of it ,so under supply and demand the SP will rise

I had to pay Â£1,50 in Southport today. It is getting stupid.
With my quotes being cheaper than they have ever been to try and ensure I get work, it makes for tough times.

Dont Venuzela have the largest oil reserves in the world? And Brazil also have a good ammount.
Does the uk buy from there? It always seems everyone thinks of the middle east when oil is mentioned.

p p. The march is to try and stop camclegg changing the nhs and to avoid it becoming privatised. When you can't get to see a dr, or get treatment without shelling out just remember ........sean tried for you :;):

there's no backbone in people today, we just keep letting the government shaft us. I would love to get banged up tomorrow, it would be a badge of honour. To think the nhs was a gift to my parents and grandparents who fought in the war.
