    Seeing as it won't be long before we have our own oil & the kids are more interested in technology than ecology I'm going to buy more 2 strokes.

    How will you explain away the doom laden childhoods you've inflicted on a generation when all your bullshit evaporates in front of your eyes?

    Aye, BAU, all's well... even though we still haven't got a true picture of what's going on and how/if we're affecting it.

    As always, some telling commets made in this thread, but the fact remains, some people are accepting this one, online article as fact.

    In a nut shell, as has been mentioned, the price of oil has been jacked up to fund future endeavors, and that's about it, no matter what, the oil price will only continue to grow (just as VAT style taxes never go down, just up)

    Just accept it.

    Either that, or let's all stop using our vehicles so frivolously, and either walk, ride a sweat wheel or even the Bus instead of being victims to "the man" and then bitch about it.

    No one puts a gun to our heads and MAKES us drive everywhere.

    Don't watch TV and prefer my insults a little punchier than that... but you show promise. Maybe less TV and more practice?

    Relative to what? Compared to the price petrol used to be it is expensive, compared to what it will be ??
    Makes getting to and from what expensive and it is the cheapest method, therefore it is expensive.
    We talk in $/l but tend to really think in cost per journey or cost of living.

    I was being tongue in Cheek mate, sorry

    It is expensive I know and I appreciate the hardships some families face in respects to the pricing.
    The costs associated with politics, exploration , refinement, shipping especially in this PC and H&S world have gone through the roof, couple that with the huge demand increases from markets like India China then the prices will go up.
    Peak oil is when Demand outstrips supply (supply isn't from earth's resources but our refining capability)
    Pricing is affected by this.
