I'm not taking a dig at you AT ALL but don't you think thats a bit one sided? $150 a barrel is NOT helping the economy or mr. average joe is it?

In a way yes in a way no.
Its expensive to remove the stuff from 1000's feet under the sea. refine and transport it. Exploration projects can run into 100's of millions of pounds often without any returns.
That said I cant understand where the recent increases are coming from if the price of crude is still half what it was. Who else is pushing the price up? Refineries, Logistics, Petrol stations themselves?
Helping the economy by giving people cheap oil........would be nice wouldn't it  They could just say, fuckit the price is too cheap close down the well's until it goes up & then there will be no petrol.

tbh Id be happy if the price of petrol only fluctuated with the price of oil - but its the fact the robbing bastards in charge take about 70p out of every pound you spend on petrol.

someone made this point once they go through all that work of finding it, refining it, bringing it over from various countrys and it costs around £1.08 per liter but then you have a bottle of coca at 97p for 500ml
thats the only way of looking at it and justifying the price, no point complaining as they arent ever going to listen or reduce the profit they make on it until clarkson becomes PM

$30 dollars a barrel to get it up last I heard so they make 150% profit on that at $75 a barrel.

Seems so recent that it was 56 pence per litre and I was not impressed with that because it had been 52 not long prior to that and then 49 and less shortly before that.
When I had my MK II it was sixteen quid to fill the tank. It only had a small tank, but I remember being horrified to find out that it was about 75 quid to fill up a Shadow II.
It's probably well over sixty quid to fill the average tank now

It turns out that MK I & II Escorts have a fuel tank that holds 9 imperial gallons or 41 litres, so that equates to approximately 39 pence a litre when I was first filling my first car up on a weekly basis.
That means the price of a gallon of fuel has more or less tripled in a little over 18 years
Funny how many people's annual income doesn't increase in the same fashion.
They talk about low inflation rates but don't ACTUALLY consider the REAL cost of living. |
Tax exiles get away with murder, but the poorest people in the land still have to pay the same rate of VAT as anybody else and the same goes for BOTH of the taxes levied on petrol and diesel.
