The future?
As I write petrol and diesel are at a wallet-shredding £1.09 per litre. We, like most of you, really want answers as to why, when we’re still wading through the murky depths of a recession, fuel companies have the downright cheek and greed as to put up fuel prices.
While people across the globe people continue to lose their jobs (and houses as a result), the rich as usual get richer. The fuel companies (and particularly oil) must seriously be the most greedy companies on Earth.
Anyway, we came across this article on The Mail’s website. Oil ships anchor off the coast of Britain, refusing to dock until fuel prices rise and push up the price of their loads. Some have sat there for two months now and their cargo rises in price by £1,000,000 per day.
This tallies with the fact that fuel cost 90-odd pence per litre two months ago which has now risen to £1.09.
Just how long will the tankers sit there? Until we’re all broke apparently. Our advice? Buy a car that will get great mpg and try to weather out the storm. Another piece of advice – sit back, chill out and laugh, ‘cos one day oil companies will be no more and we’ll all be driving around in Electric powered vehicles.
