Would take alot longer than 8 hours to go round it in the rush hour now days

I moved out of London 7 years ago, and here 6 months ago. I hated the M25 with a passion and avoided it at all costs...I remember 3 junctions once taking 7 hours on a Sunday afternoon....but at least it was a sunny afternoon.

Petrol used to have 100% tax on it in Aust... im not sure if this is still the case?

Has anyone looked at petrol pricing graphs? there is a distinct pattern to it!

I think ExploreOz.com has one ... let me have a look

Here you go

Just have a look at the graphs on the very bottom of the page!

Coming home from Pictures last night the shell was $1.22 the BP on the next block was $1.33 a litre now same product, same taxes, smae distribution net work costs tell me the difference in price.

Malcolm Fraser also introduced the Govt Tax on Petrol at time it was 4 cents litre the money was supposed to pay for Roads program and develop alternative fuels sources for Australia.

Malcolm Fraser did seal the road around Aussie and then the road money seemed to disappear as teht ax excise rate went up and up

Never seen any alternative fuel source or technology developed out of tax money

Politicians are liars and voters are sheep

Any bio fuel doesn't save you as you got to figure in the cost of growing the product fertilizering it and cutting it down and transporting it and the conversion costs.

Personally l like the idea of nuclear powered range rover now that would be something

"I would love to be the person to say to OPEC, "Oh $90 per barrell, no it's ok we don't need it"

"

I recently read an article in the newspaper where it said that the opec people had already sent some threats to the world if we start seriously reducing our demand for oil and using alternative fuels
India and china should be able to take up the excess oil that we don't use. however, there will be big changes to their economy in the future as the whole world slowly moves away from a reliance on oil. We have interesting times ahead
