Petrol Prices
Well from a high of 150 dollars per barrel (6 months ago), oil it seems is now back down to the 100 dollar mark.

Walking home I saw petrol for 109p/l, that's not too bad now is it.

At the risk of making a Stromba-esque statement, petrol is still too cheap....

Jeremy Clarkson is of the same mind, petrol is too cheap and I kinda agree.
It is cheap considering what has to happen to the crude oil to make it suitable to fuel our engines but I still don't want to have to pay any more for the stuff than I have to lol

109.9 here but its starting to creep up again. Oil prices might be down but with the pound coming down against the dollar its costing more

It's not what has to happen to oil to make it fuel an engine that means it's cheap.

It's more to do with 1 barrel of oil containing the energy equivalent of something like 20,000 man hours of human manual labour. Not too bad for $140!!
