Filled my 2.5TDi T4 Transporter up today and nearly needed a payday loan to fill it.
So its back onto Straight veg oil during the summer.
Bookers here we come.

Once upon a time there was nothing. Which exploded
yes crude's gone up about $10 a barrel & pump prices have gone up about 10p a litre so by the time it gets back to where it was at about $140 a barrel
we're going to be paying about £2 a litre! makes you wonder doesn't it?

Once Iran starts seriously pumping oil & Venezuela gets it's government sorted out & starts pumping the price will go down again. It's supply & demand. Also now Saudi is refining diesel & exporting it here there is no excuse for raising prices.
I was reading in the paper yesterday that Saudi was looking to pay workers with IOUs because of the falling oil prices. If this is true why has the price at the pumps gone up?

The price has risen because the oil companies profits have dropped.
My first car, in 1971 was a mini with a 5 gallon tank and I still remember asking a garage attendant (remember them?) to put £1 worth in and being told that it would not hold £1 worth. My current Adria Twin has a 120 litre tank, currently about £130 to fill that.
