No and our war bill went up. Go figure. BTW, Iraq said we can go home now. Sounds like a plan to me.

1 Euro is how many crowns??

In Poland: 1,2 Euro for both Diesel and gas at BP (only Shell has higher prices)
The prices have never been so high. Even when the barrel of oil was for 200$. (now they say it's 80$ ?)

IIRC Kuwait were saying the other day that the world could withstand oil prices at over $100 per barrel. At the moment it's sitting at $89 bbl. We've been over $100bbl before, but it's come back down sharpish during the recession. As Skybird says, as the economies recover, growth will slowly return and the demand for oil will continue to increase.
Now, IIRC, our good friends OPEC ( <- Sarcasm) look like they may decide not to increase production in 2011 because there is enough for demand at the moment, which means, inevitably, the price of oil is going to rise and as such, the price at the pumps is going to rise.

With train fares going up over inflation in the UK too and bus fares not far behind, pretty soon it'll be horse and cart time! :damn:

Ha! The great circle is complete. :yeah:

That being said though, the price of hay and straw these days... :damn:

Still, probably still cheaper than a car. :hmmm:

:har::har::har::har::har::har:
Who on earth expected prices to go down?
All the Iraq war did was raise oil companies profits.

Nah, the environmentalists will put you out of business by keeping you in court over pollution problems. :O:

Actually I think it is only one guy saying that gas prices MIGHT go as high as $5.00 in 2012 and all the other stations are just repeating it.

Yep you' ll have too install that goat hitch too your car, and buy a team of goats:woot:

Sharp rise for petrol and diesel prices in U.K
 
A government fuel duty increase on New Year's Day will put another 0.76p on to both petrol and diesel. On 4 January, the rise in VAT from 17.5% to 20% will mean yet another price rise.

For a team of goats perhaps you would have had to install a two goat hitch too

And with the new digital and property of knowledge company rights you will have to pay constantly for leasing the idea of using a goat to pull your cart :dead:
