The current oil prices are similar to Don Bradman. It seems like every week there is a new record. Oil hit a new record price. Johnny 'hopes' petrol will come down to $1.15. At least with media now covering this issue the wider community may now see the laws that they've passed for big oil companies. At least we can be sure they're looking after our interests in Iraq.
I will be making my own biodiesel as soon as i have researched it enough to be confident i can produce good quality fuel for my fourby.
Fuel will be $3 in a couple of years. Bring on solar and public transport, please.

F**K would you look at all these pricing experts.
You know it’s the only Job that you can constantly be wrong and not get fired.
Just take 5minuts guys and look back on the Pricing “Experts” predictions for the last year or so, not one of the useless F**king basted have been right yet.
If I recall $2 by last Christmas
1.60 By last
Easter
When Iraq was invaded it was going to hit 1.50+with in a few months and that was what 2 years ago or was it more.
And what a shock it never happened, the average price around
Perth is still 1.30, the latest prediction is what $2 by this Christmas, gee it seems to go in cycles just like ACA and 4WD storeys
If you actually sit down and believe what the media feeds you about Petrol prices you are just as thick as Harold Screwloose.
The media like to chuck around words like
Sky-high
Soaring
Sky-Rocketing
Pushing
Surging
Do us a favour and get a grip, Unless WW3 brakes out I don’t see fuel hitting $2 a litre anytime soon, and if WW3 brakes out fuel isn’t going to matter as we will al be dead.

LOL good one Exploder.
The price will be what the price will be and we'll all end up paying it. Can't see the point in worrying about something we have no control over.

I don't pay any attention to the pricing experts. I have no way of predicting what fuel prices will be in 2 years, nobody has. I think the point i was getting at was exactly that. If we get solar (renewables) and public transport we won't have to worry about fuel prices, or oil supply.
high fuel prices, 40% more than they were 6 years ago, with no pay rise means less trips. if they rise much more it will mean even fewer trips.
