Fuel prices 🤑🤑🤑

[teamzr1]

Already has here,
For just one month, my utilities bill just went up $100 (25% higher) and not using anymore in like water or electricity :-(

Hopefully this mess goes away soon.

It won't James. My generation has just finished paying for WW11. Yours will be paying for the pandemic for a long time. High petrol, diesel and gas prices will probably be the norm until the terrible situation with Russia is resolved and even then who knows what the result will be.

I am on holiday at the moment. Before we left and just before Russia invaded Ukraine, I fixed my gas and electricity tariffs. My estimated monthly payment went from £152 per month to £316. Only time will tell....

Here in the USA, gas was at times below $2 a gallon
From the day joey b got into the White House (long before Russia) price of fuel has gone up

Today in Ca the price of 93 octane gas jumped to $8, and the state takes 51 cents a gallon tax, plus then a federal tax
Feds stated today that the price of fuel will not go down until, yea right be before the midterm elections

Less than 7% of the imported oil came from Russia, so that is not the reason since beginning of 2021 of the price increases
This is about forcing the green BS here and taxing the piss out of American taxpayers for using fuel based engines.

Asda, £7.76 a gallon. Its not the price but the card limit that gets me.

I filled up yesterday @£1:69 a litre. Drove past the same station this morning and it’s £1:719 a litre. Seems it goes up every day. Where will it end ? £10 a gallon maybe.
I think this will have a big impact on larger engined cars, and possibly many classics as they are old school, with not very efficient fuel wise engines. Especially American cars.

Keep filling up but turn the heating off and go on a diet.

I was wondering just the other day how many (if any) might be sold as a result?

That’s what I was thinking, not so much on the very expensive “yanks” ie 50’s, 60’s and some 70’s corvettes etc, but things like mainstream 70’s fuel guzzling monsters. 500ci Cadillac’s and 460ci Lincoln’s/mercurys/Fords spring to mind.
A few friends in FL are considering selling their pick ups due to consumption, and getting something smaller and more fuel efficient.

Considering the very little use most classics get and the average demographic of owners , I doubt it will have a huge impact .

That’s quite true, but some people may not now to be able to use them quite as much as they did before and so decide to sell them due to lack of use.

Saw diesel in a BP station in crouch end today @1.96 that’s a whopping £8:89 a gallon. Bloody hell .

Mine has gone up to an estimated £410 per month.

Of course it’s only us oldies that remember what a gallon is, and tend to convert the litre price into imperial gallons.
My young nephews have no idea what a gallon is, they have only know litres.

 

[Chuffer]

Yeah , a 1.254 gallon capacity V8 doesn`t have the same ring to it either !

Nice try

That would be fun to drive a massive land yacht around and to eat mcdonalds in comfort.

Ireland is leading the way by reducing taxation on diesel and petrol to take the sting out for motorists . So if a small economy like Ireland can do it , why not the rest of the UK ???
