Petrol price up to a new high ($2.16)

[scracha]

Expect $2.50 by mid to late 2012.
Just saying.

3 years ago I predicted $3 by early 2012 and everyone thought I was bonkers.

Like the prediction has anything to do with it.

Can I just say I think you're still bonkers?

Meh, petrol will do what it does...supply and demand and all that BS. For me, would rather look at ways of boosting the income so that I can continue to burn my share of liquid gold than get all antsy over the price of it.

Will be quite cool to see what comes in the next 5 - 10 years with electric cars and bikes. Until then, all the haters can keep looking at their hybrids and Hyundai Getz's.

Between the bikes and the RS4 I am hoping to get later this year, I will continue to have high fuel costs...and so be it, I enjoy driving and riding, I don't really drink much so I judge it my alternative beer fund.

Might plug in the livestock and collect methane......

Trying to keep the car as close to 5 litres per 100km and the bike something similar, especially when using 98 octane for the bike.

Petrol prices are really hurting the average Kiwi's budget. Then there is food prices, rates etc all on the rise.

The only fall has been in floating mortgage rates with the recent OCR cut by 50bps.

Cost of living has exceeded that of the London (In fact pretty much all of Europe) and other big towns like New York.
As economic theorists will point out, our standard of living etc is directly related to our productivity as a nation. Given our productivity is dwindling, we need to find ways of generating mooolah$$$$$. Good place to start is with more, but sustainable, mining.

We used to say that about the south island.

I remember when petrol reached $1 per liter and people said that was the end of the world.
Who remembers the 'carless days' stupidity and the colored stickers that denoted your carless day. When it rained or you washed your car some of the stickers changed color and the popo couldn't see what your carless day was.
