Topped up the Diesel car today @ £1.52 Morrisons and cashed in the 7p off per litre voucher, which expires tomorrow if anyone’s still got one not yet used.
No signs of queues.
Its a funny old game, its fairly obvious us plebs aren’t part of the new world order’s privately owned transport plans, but that’s going to be a problem for our govt to balance the books, we’ve cut down on private driving as no doubt many others, this will have an effect on the govts income, so quite how Rishi’s going to recoup the half a £trillion he plucked from his arse to ■■■■ up the covid scam wall is going to be interesting.
A sub from Klaus and Bill? or sell what’s left of the country to Vanguard and Black Rock?, no strings attached there for sure.
What a great opportunity to unabashedly profiteer from the public’s continued mis-play of the entire situation we find ourselves in.
Taken together, this all serves the hidden green agenda rather nicely - doesn’t it?
The Russian thing - is causing a shortage of Energy, which makes people take another look at “Double priced Green energy” as now being cheaper than Quadruple priced “shortage” that we now find ourseles in…
It’ll take an even bigger push of bully bull’s hit now - to get the public to wear things like:
(1) Heat pumps be good
(2) Smart Meters - save you money
(3) “Diluting” Petrol with hygroscopic alcohol - doesn’t damage your engine.
(4) Electric Cars - will eventually last longer than a decade, but not for some while yet.
(5) We’ll eventually invent a cheaper form of Green stuff, (but for now the only thing that is “Cheap” when it comes to green - is the Workforce.)
(6) Your less likely to die drinking Whiskey rather than Vodka now.
(7) ■■■■■■ doesn’t kill you in middle age, even when you dose up on it before taking a naughty boy’s holiday in Bangkok
(8) Lack of access to the NHS doesn’t harm you, but you still have to pay even more in national insurance for that “non-access”.
(9) We’ll check immigration - but first, let’s keep the floodgates open this time for Ukrainians, or anyone on else on this planet who wants to come here for the benefits.
Hi there folks
Just an update from the unleaded petrol story here in Norway.
Local self-serve pump was £1.58 yesterday morning, increase of 6p from last week.
As I went north, the price went up and the highest I saw during the day was £1.96.
This is not city prices, just self-serve pumps along the way!
But I need it to get to work, no buses where I live.
When the price went through the £1 barrier I was working as a driving instructor and it made me give up the work…
Cheers
Paul
Andyha69:
I use a motorbike (Yamaha FJR1300)to commute to work on a Monday, and back again on a Friday. Run it on the E5 stuff and nearly fainted when it clicked over £30 filling from an indicated 1/4 tank, but a full tank will last me for about 3 weeks.
Probably cheaper to use a small car to commute, but nowhere near as much fun.
Nobody ever bought a big motorbike as a way of saving money on their commuting costs. (Although more than a few probably used this argument to get it past the domestic finances manager or simply to justify it to themselves - BTDTGTTS…)
I did.
Indicated 60-65 mpg at 80 mph, indicated 47 mpg at 95-100 mph (I’m not very good at leaving the house in time for work [emoji6]). My last tank fill was 13.55 litres for 200 miles (67 mpg)
Honda NC750X. Not sure of any other vehicle capable of that economy while cutting through the traffic.
Price of petrol, diesel, food, energy etc etc, its all shooting through the roof. Only thing that isn’t going through the roof is your wages. They will no doubt actually come down.
Going to look into electric , for the mrs as she only does local driving , she’s not keen as she wanted a focus rs , she likes the look of Tesla ( 1/2 brother has one ) , but I’m not sure if you’ll save anything as even 2 nd hand there not cheap
Will have to have a look around
It won’t matter if fuel hits £5k a litre in London if Mr. Khan gets his way. There’s a ‘consultation’ going on to extend the ULEZ to all London Boroughs. For me, that’ll make my diesel car worthless in the immediate area, and cost me the price of an EV to boot!
Incidentally, in Ireland the cost of home heating oil (kerosene) went from €490 on 15/2 to €885 on 10/3.
Btw Winseer, are you telling me your No.6 isn’t true? Please don’t tell my missus!
ETS:
I get the fuel but someone explain why adblue is 1.50/l at the services■■?
Urea, which is a major part of ad blue is produced as a by product of fertilizer . Fertilizer production has been hammered by the gas price. Far east countries including China have banned it’s export.
