Time to leave the country me thinks :blink:

I just want to inform you that in Canada, it is currently 93 Canadian cents. That is about 60 pence a liter, and complaints are going rampant. The worst was 1.50/Liter when the pound was 2.20/ pound, so that would still make it only 65 or 70 pence.

I just want to let you know how the rest of the world is not necessarily paying those outgrageous prices now as oil has dropped in price significantly.

So I think that you fellas are getting screwed over somehow, and it doesn't seem right.

Umpaloompa... You may have noticed that this thread ran almost 9 months ago, while there were tanker driver strikes going on in the UK. It had nothing to do with the Crude price at the time, it was someone trying to make an obscene amount of money during a supply and demand moment...
