I see West Texas Crude is now down to $40-41 a barrel so the oil companies should be able to tumble prices further before Xmas instead of putting them up.I think 98 now is under $1.50 a litre and falling....... :D

Really? Are they using E10 there too? I'm sure the Mobil here was still 11c more than 91.

I read in the paper today that some analysts are tipping the price to go as low as US$25 a barrel next year if the global downturn hits hard in China and OPEC


anyway, last i saw , it was going for about 88c - litre (91) here on the Gold Coast

eh? you dont get it do you.. the CO2 released when you burn it is the same CO2 that the bacteria pulled out the air. In fact, if you didn't burn the petrol those little buggers would eat all the CO2 in the atmosphere and we all be killed by global cooling. :?

Gimme global warming any day, hot chicks in skimpy outfits vs. hot chicks under 3 layers of woolen clothing.. Global warming for teh win!

Yeah its a closed loop so any Co2 released is balanced by the C02 absorbed.

In fact using Oil is a closed loop too....the only difference is the time factor: If new oil/petrol was created at the same rate as we consume it, then there would be no problem.....unfortunately it takes millions of years for the carbon to be re-absorbed.
