Default Price of Petrol!

Hi Guys

Don't know about USA but here in the UK petrol has just reach $9.00 per gallon!

Running the 4.0L HO is get very expensive!

Might have to look at converting to LPG anyone else done this conversion.

Getting fed up with the prices going up every time there is a rumour/is a upset in the middle east

It's 2.64 a gal here in Michigan, but it was 2.35 last night and will drop again tomorrow probably.

Been researching gas prices for my move to AK and they are about the same. Which is just sad since its drilled, collected, made, and shipped there lol.

It is £6.03 per 4.54L 1 IMP Gallon which = $9 @ 1.5 Dollars to the £ I think?

Either way it is ridiculously expensive!

So I was watching the TV and they had a program on about the gas prices. They were saying the speculative markets ie the Wall Street Aholes add 25% to the price of a barrel of oil. Just cause they think it might go up or down in the future. So 25% of the cost has nothing to do with supply or demand or how much oil is out there. And when these middle east uprising in the oil producing countries happen they just love it.

You would think that the last time gas prices raised that high the U.S. went into the start of a recession and it got pretty bad. But I guess nobody learned a lesson from it. So this time they will besure to put us all in another depression. Im sure they don't care though cause there making there money, and don't care that nobody else can even afford to survive. Its just nothing but greed that's all. I guess they think they get to take all there money when they go to hell. But all the money in the world isn't gonna buy you a spot in heaven. It will just get them a closer spot next to satin himself.

All them oil companies and wall street guys make me so
