Price of Petrol

**VladTepes** · 12th August 2004, 04:31 PM

Someone on TV the other night was saying they (whoever they might be) expect that the price of petrol in 3 years will be $3 a litre :!: 8O

Not only would this be the death-knell of the V8 but I'm sure if this were the case diesel would rise to the same price.

The cost of filling the tank in my Defender would increase from $60 to $180 :!: 8O and this gets me 600 km+ but that still makes it very expensive on a per kilometer basis. Wouldn't even want to do the matchs for a V8.

Scary stuff, but perhaps just scaremongering by the oil companies so when they put the price up to $1-50 we all breath a sigh of relief.

either way ,its too bloody dear now, i mean it doesnt cost them any more to take it out of the ground ,and i bet all the refinery workers dont get a wage comensurate with the price of oil, so what gives?

dont forget it is the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT getting the biggest chunk of this money..

Hey Vladtepes ... look at the up side.....

If petrol is 3 times the price.... no one will want to drive the V8's any more... there will be a glut in the market and they will be really cheap... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

Based on that assumption - I will be able to afford to buy lots more of them :!: [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

Maybe I couldn't afford to drive them... but they would look good in the shed

I've got to admit....

The petrolhead deep inside that convinced me that I needed the V8 rather than the deisel

Has a lot to answer for at the moment..... 8O 8O

Ferno.... surely there has to be a better solution than that!.

..... I'm still trying to work out how to justify to the boss financing my trips into the highcountry... there just has to be a way to get the boss to pay....It must be relevant to work some how :!: :!: .

........Any ideas :?: ... I'm a computer network manager... 8O

....... Somehow research doesn't quite cover it
