It'll only get worse if it kicks off in the middle east again.
Obama and cameron were talking about opening the reserve oil up for this summer to make prices cheaper. I dont know if thats for the U.K and the U.S. or we're just supplying them with oil. we'll just have to wait and see I suppose.
British and U.s. troops are mopving into the other straight "the straight of tears or the straight of grief" as its known aparently to stop piracy... My arse.

Yeah, I work around Wales sometimes and I've seen prices similar to that NR.

I would be surprised if we weren't at £2.00 by Christmas!

Most fuel stations fill up 3 times a week. Supermarkets and popular service startions can be everyday. Some of the more remote places can be once a week. But if you're going to cache fuel.....do it soon. Or you won't be able to afford to fill it up.

I dont think unless you can cache a tanker full it'll be much use cacheing fuel.
For example we only use about 40 litres a week... but Roughly £60 a weeks enough, cant afford to cache fuel as well to double that...
