With the VAT hike on 4th Janurary coupled with a 2p hike in fuel tax on 1st January it will be getting very expensive.

So much for helping the economy.

What rises in Germany: Gasoline. Heating gas. Heating oil. Electricity. Health insurrance. Property taxes. When the prices on international markets fell due to shrinking industrial demand for oil, the prices for the households went up. When there are vacancies, prices go up. Prices almost never fall. No matter the market situation, they almost never fall, they only go upwards for the end consumer. Savbing the industry earned due to market situation, are not being given to the consumer, this is especially true for electricity and gasoline. The market is totally dysfunctional, much due to monopolism, manipulation, and political protectionism ("tax incomes" and "lobbyism" are the two words to watch out for here).

The more the economy gets into swing, the higher the demand in oil again, the faster the oil price will go through the ceiling again.

" Gas prices expected to rise in 2011 "

Ah well, were they ever expected to fall ? Not in my lifetime ..

Gas prices never reacted to a drop of stocks or larger amounts of resources found, those greedy managers and stock market analysts always raise the price.

One time it was less wells, then it was China buying all crude oil and the last i learned was that the destitute oil industry needed money for investing in modern technologies

But the best was Exxon. They mixed some seed oils in their Diesel for cheaper production but told nobody. When the government recently demanded the mixing with some 10 percent of those oils, Exxon immediately raised the price because the mixing was so "costly"
Messing around with customers has been raised to an art form

I have changed the Diesel engine of our old VW Quantum or Passat to run with pure rape seed oil, which is much cheaper (this is not "BioDiesel" b.t.w.), but needs a few injection and pre-glowing adjustments.

Greetings,

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$. (now they say it's 80$ ?)

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.

In my area petrol company's

£1.24 - £1.31 for Unleaded

£1.26 - £1.32 for Diesel

Supermarket pumps

£1.19 - £1.23 for Unleaded

£1.23 - £1.26 for Diesel

I' noticed four hikes in less than three months and that dose not include the 2p hike on its way.

Looks like the typical hype to me. Gas always goes up in the winter because additives are put into the mixture for clearner emissions during the colder months. No mystery there. Demand is higher around the holidays. Gas goes up during the vacation months due to demand. Another hype story by the media. Run for the hills!

Go ahead...don't control the cost of gas and watch the world economy collapse into the abyss that much quicker.
