How long until we see €2 a litre and will it push more to EV's faster?

Oil went from under $100 a barrel to over $120 barrel over the weekend.

This is being partially passed on at the pumps now. Thats how it works.

There is nothing disgraceful about it.

The 15c cut in excise might stop the next 20c hike being as severe.

source?

The gov don't really care all that much underneath it all. Ursula announced before that she wants the EU to be less reliant on fossil fuels and everything to be turned towards renewables and hydrogen. This high cost right now actually suits their overall agenda despite the hardship it inflicts on the rest of us

yea, we are being made fools of. cost of living is beyond a joke at this stage. rich keep getting richer. a sad world we live in

So nobody gets a new delivery during the day?

They are allowed do it because its a free market.

Plenty of stations out there if people want to shop around.

EV owners don't change their car batteries every few years.

Go educate yourself on the subject.

2.12 and 2.14 now

Circle K Grangecastle

The local one went from 189 to 194 and today it's up to 198, the rest along route to work were mostly the same for petrol/disel and none were over 2 yet (will likley be different on way back)

They will. Which will have a massive effect on the economy and employment

Exactly. Reduce, reuse and recover. We need to tackle consumption and resulting resources wastage and pollution. All this CO2 and carbon talk is pure nonsense.

What are we going to do with heaps of used car batteries? Oh, I know. We will ship them to china or africa where lads will burn them in a pit and recover some copper from cabling. And we will be happy pretending how great we are saving the planet.

When the eur could buy $1.47. Today it buys $1.10.

And over 13c carbon tax today.

Too many clueless people screaming price gouging and rip off when they haven't the basics to understand what market forces are at work.

Two of the local stations went up since I last passed them at 9am this morning. 15c on diesel in one and 10c in the other.

Just out of curiosity how often would they get a delivery? I only ask because one of the ones I mentioned above only put their prices up yesterday. They hardly get a delivery daily?

Turning off the heat half an hour early?

Driving slower?

Car pooling?

Using night save electricity?

More than one way to skin a cat.

People are not going to slow down.

Go on the M1 motorway, past the airport, if you are doing the speed limit 80kph, you will driven off the road.

I would put a couple of unmarked speedvans there, and rake in 100k per day in fines.
