Answer 7

Well I want to complain about the price of gas but you don't hear me crying about it.  All you can do is take out your wallet and pay up the extra cash. I mean a barrel of oil is close to 100 dollars if not more,  try paying $3.15 for a gallon of gas that's what a bunch of motorists have to pay.

Answer 8

At USA prices, vegetable oil is now competitive with diesel.  Add about 50 cents (25p) and you have biodiesel, which will work straight up in any diesel.

Still gotta pay taxes on it though, unless there are incentives.

P.S. Attention Americans, Stiffler especially.   If you convert his units to gallons and dollars, he's paying $8.28 a gallon for diesel.

What you need to do is convert your diesel to vegetable oil,go down the local chipper of a saturday night and ask for their old oil hey presto cheap motoring and the exhaust fumes smell magic! used to have a wagon deliver to work and it run on veggie oil.... it smellt great!!!

Answer 12

As with all things these things are realtive.  If until recently you had been paying £2.10 a litre you would have jumped for joy at a 50% price reduction.

Don't worry on the Gordon Brown dead cert accumalator bet , you won't have to wait too long to pay £2.10 a litre.

On the technical side if you really want to save money just block off the fuel supply to three out of the four cylinders.

You may have some difficulty starting the engine and you are in for a fairly bumpy ride but you will save money.

Answer 13

The old British way. Pathetic.

Answer 14

with inflation at the % it is then it is hard to justify..maybe the oil people would like to comment here...its odd how the supermarkets can squeeze every last penny from farmers...but are unable to squeeze the oil people in a similar way....our last prime minster gave us the answer..''we don't care''  so sod off you peasants..lol l feel better now too

Answer 15

hear hear but there's nothing we can do about it!! flipping politics and oil!

Answer 16

we all want to complain about the price but no one listens

Answer 17

You can complain all you like but it won't make an ounce of difference.

Answer 18

Oil prices will continue to rise due to demand, currently, the strength of the Chinese and Indian economies is driving the demand way up.  Until an economical alternative is found, oil prices will continue to rise.
