Oil has reached an oil time high of $93 a barrel.

In view of this do you think it will kill the big V8.

Paid £1.03 a litre for Diesel last week. What price is it today?

I've been working at the Lindsey Oil Refinery recently and i cannot get over the size of the place - it is HUGE, i don't just mean big, but absolutely MASSIVE. How much this place must have cost to build i'll never know, and as for the daily running costs, god knows. What an extroardinary process the refinery of oil to petrol is.
I've also been to some brewerys in the past to see the process of water and yeast mixed with barley and hops naturaly fermenting itself into beer. Note that word - naturaly. Water, barley, hops. All natural and easily obtainable. Yet this is sold in pint quantities for £2.50+ and we have the nerve, the sheer audacity to complain at 98.9 pence for a LITRE of unleaded ? The process that goes in to it is simply astonishing. And then there's the dispensing of it. I know what costs more, a few bar taps or a petrol station.
Worth bearing in mind next time we fill up - a litre for less than a pound or a pint for £2.50+

Mmmh a Pint or a Litre. Both in moderation eh? :D

Still think that ZT260 prices will fall further as oil prices rise - noone will want a gas guzzling RWD monster of a car - except fools like us! :2gunsfiring_v1:

Could be no better time to buy one.
