Get use to it, not a lot you can do about it. I don't mind less cars on the road, less idiots in v8's (the ones that give them all a bad name, the un patient sort). Nothing to complain about when I get home from work faster.

lol, everyone says that without any idea of what drives this market. As soon as Northern Hemisphere winter ends, the US dollar gets back on track and this trouble in the Middle East end, effectively destroying the speculation that has driven it this high, it will settle back to around where it was 6 months ago. Take your $3/litre scaremongering and put it you know where!
I didnt convert anything. Just chuck diesel in the tank and go. Figured it wouldnt hurt to try.

back a whiles this talking head on the yank news was expecting petrol to get to $5 gallon by 2012
he was an ex Shell ceo & if the conversion was just a straight one that would mean $3.30 a liter for us here

Again, you have no idea what drives the market!
Do you believe everyhting they spout out on American media, especially from an oil giants CEO! He profits if everyone freaks out listening to him!

Yeah, wrong math. I paid $2.18 for 95 today, hurt. Still isn't as bad as the $2.25 I used to pay for a few weeks during 2008 though!

Pfft, I just fill up my tank with water and away I go. Car runs better than it did on 98. Water's cheaper too

Supermarket vouchers nicely offset the extra you pay for 95 over 91, USE THEM.pretty simple really.

sorry but its due to global supply not meeting demand -- peak oil in action.The things you mention are on the fringe, and ignore the fundamentals. World oil production has been flat since 2005 in spite of record high prices.
wouldnt it be great if car's would run on coca cola!

speculation drives the market
he was described as an EX ceo , & it was his opinion he was giving
my guess was that it was a propaganda piece we will increasinly hear to soften us up . just like this thread

Simply buy less. that is the only language the Oil Cartel undertsand. People stop buying then Cartel start choking on their supplys, Oil Tankers anchored just off the Coast idling doing nothing will cost them dearly. they'll start lowering the price ;) Inside info.
