Petrol price increases

[scumdog]

. When the cops stop driving V8's and your average kiwi car is under 2 litres, I'll start to have a sympathetic ear.

Are you talking about on duty - 'cos none of the cars I've ever driven for work have been V8s, last V8 Police car I ever saw was in 1971, last Traffic Cop V8 I saw was in 1985 or so .

Now if you're talking about off-duty then that's another storyi

And I remember dad telling me "Petrol will probably go up to 50 cents a GALLON" (Less than 12cents a litre) once and thinking "nah, no way, what does he know"

I can still rememba that you jus had to chuck out some hay to fill your ride.......

Hey, how long have you had the Pegaso? Is it as good as they look to be?

I can remember the poor traffic guys getting the new HQ 253's and to get the best performance they had the 3-sp column-shift manual boxes...

haha yea $1 a gallon i had a impala at the time that cost $17.00 to fill but could get away with putting 00.50c in my 250 yam.I don't think the pumps dish out 00.50c lots any more

I can remember putting 10c worth in my Yam 250.
Student days...the last 10c I had to my name. Probably got me a litre. Rode really carefully on that.

I can remember breaking open bales and chucking hay around to have a ride.

Just bin for a ride round the block, $30 fill at home to start things off, $40 something in Arthurs pass(thieving pricks $2.00.9 a litre,dunno how they lie straight in bed) Then $33 in Kaikoura. $100 give or take, not to bad for just over 1000 k's and 2 days entertainment

only answer to this problem is to EARN MORE $$$.
that way, ya dont have to complain! And as for the poor buggers that have dependants(wife, kids, dog etc) ya gotta get the wife n kids contributing to the household budget...makes sense? So often "the provider" is saddled with so much debt, he has to work loooooooooong hours and miss out on having a life whilst the missus is cruising along and making more demands for new stuff for the house. So ya gotta make extra $$$ to compensate for the price increases in any way ya can...within reason lol
