By the time it gets to the pumps, it will just be in time before it starts going up again.

If it stays this low when I start using the bike again, it will get the super duper stuff from Shell  8)

Brent Crude was at $31.20 a barrel earlier, but is nudging back up towards $32 where it might find some resistance to further gains.  ::)

Just wait until the next budget you can bet the government will ramp up fuel tax to fill their coffers to take up the slack in low crude prices  >:(

Reading that made me very very angry. The funds should come from the salaries, pension funds, and personal assets of these cretins who tell us they can run a continent, when they evidently couldn't run a bath if someone turned the taps on for them..........



.........on the other hand, it might change help change the minds of some of the folk who labour under the delusion that there are actually advantages for this country in belonging to the EU.
