Fuel Price

Sell it now. When petrol hits $2/L those 4WD and SUVs that have cluttered our roads for too long are going to go out of fashion faster than Michael Jackson. You wont be able to give them away with a packet of Weetbix and good riddance.

Sell it? Hell, I'm thinking of upgrading. Unfortunately for the SUV haters, most of the owners that drive real SUV's ($150K +) have a bit of money to throw around and couldn't care less if petrol was at $4 a litre. We'll still own road supremacy and happily do our part to deplete the worlds oil reserves.

So sorry, you'll still be run off the road. That is of course if you yourself can still afford to gas your vehicles.

So says the man who wants to commute on a bike and tells us it's because he enjoys it.

But seriously, it jumped 6c per liter while I was away, but who gives a shit anymore. No bastard is interested in doing anything about it, so suffer I say.

That's fine. It's the 90% who wont be able to run them that I'm celebrating. It's far better to be run off the road by a higher class of person in an upmarket vehicle. There's still a silver linning to the price rise. All those 10+ yr old clapped out 4wds Wankjeros, Uglicruisers and ShitheapFinders will be abandoned at the road side soon. Fat ugly Mothers dropping the kids 250m to school may just have to walk off some weight.
There'll be more room on the road for my car which never runs out of petrol. I just switch on auto-fill mode.

Still not as expensive as milk. Milk used to be 6c/l when I were a lad.

Jeez, you musta been pretty hard up then. Shit, when I was a kid milk was free. So was food. And power. And petrol was free too.

Then when I left home Mum wouldn't fill my car up anymore.

Well I say that we get a group together and we buy some tickets on some flights... Then we could commandeer the planes and fly them into 5-6 different B.P's at the same time.

That would show the world that if they dont agree with us and our ideas as to what price petrol should be that we will blow them up...

WHOS WITH ME????????????

Well after I posted that I was going to convert the gsxr to run on biodiesel as a piss take, to which some folk fell for it, I found an interesting thing from Holland. A sportsbike that runs on biodiesel no less. This is not a piss take its pukka.

Of course, if you did convert the gsxr to biodiesel you'd have to deep fry everything you ate, so you had a good supply of used vegetable oil to convert to biodiesel.

Until you discover how horrifically expensive alcohol is in Scandinavia...

One and only time I went there was in the 80's and beer was $25 a handle. All the people I stayed with used to get rat arsed in their homes then go out and just buy one handle.

Anti freeze does a roaring trade, or was it vodka, tasted the same.
