It doesn't just effect the cost to fill the car, everything goes up, food, drink electrical goods.

Only thing that scares me in this i that how are they gonna mimic the sound and smell of american muscle cars when we run out of oil :(

Other then that; we had women and scotch before oil, we'll have it after :D

We are all paying bud, food prices up 15% on average and alot of that is to do with heavily increased delivery costs.

And how much is this "heavy increase" in your food costs?

What level is it to begin with, just curious so i can compare to our food prices.

I think the working class are in for a very tough time unless the govt. act quickly.

It also has to scare a lot of fuckin people. These prices have over doubled since like 2 years ago - and we are not even hitting the tip of the iceberg in terms of supplies.

The prices themselves aren't the problem.

The problem is the issue of privitisation (sp?) and minimal govt. support coupled with standards of living increasing past the increased wage rates.

In my opinion, govt. needs to regulate essentials such as food, gas, electricity more. As it is now - the cost price increases MAINLY get passed straight onto the public in order for companies to enjoy high rates of profits. This will be the trend until either those companies go bust (which if so, puts us all in the shitter) or govt. interaction takes place.

At least ask for useful prices. Like how much do we pay for a big mac or a KFC!

Well those would do too :D

But we don't have a KFC here :(

Depends on the angle and person. I doubt it'll effect me too much, maybe in some travel "minor inconvinience", but all the brits are used to that daily with their trains :D

It'll affect everyone in more ways than sixteen - just most of us won't predominantly link those changes to oil.

What are you going to do ?

If you want wheels you pay the price
Alternatives: get one of those cars that run on duck feathers, or walk / cycle / use public transport everywhere.

I can suggest learning to ride a motorbike. Costs a damn sight cheaper than filling up a car, you don't get stuck in traffic jams, ok the storage is only what you can carry in your backpack / bike pouches, and you're exposed to the elements, but hey, there are altneratives. Not always practical, but prices are going up. End of the day, put up and pay, or do something else.

They got motorists by the short n curlies. And they aint gonna let go without a fight.

It might affect everyone, but everyone doesn't care for those minimal inconviniences.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Gas & electric price increases in the UK are going to cripple alot of families - mine included.

...and how would that affect, say, me?

As i said "It might affect everyone, but everyone doesn't care for those minimal inconviniences.", it didn't mean "it's small inconvinience to all".

Err...what? :eek7:

How is that at all relevant?

I said, that it wouldn't effect me in any big way. Wouldn't change the matter if i lived in the UK or not if my situation was the same.

I wouldnt be so sure that the effects will be "minimal inconviniences".

I believe they will be, but as i said, thats a personal opinion/look at things. Some think problems are bigger then others.
