Think again our prices have gone up recently again, and we are being
threatened with another rise due to Katrina !!!

Unleaded in UK - Manchester area is now 96.9p/litre
Diesel has broken the barrier and has hit 100.4p/litre too

Prices in London will be well past that !

I remember when we had blockades here when prices reached 80p/litre and that
was only three-five years ago !!

What is the price in the states?

Diesel yesterday at £5.50/Gal. and rising... it could happen, and
soon. Tho you poor sods are gonna see a rise as well. So I guess it
all just keeps some sort of insane imbalance.

An "up-side" here is it MAY slash the use of these damned SUV's all
over th' fookin' roads... with their cellphone usin', make-up applyin'
yuppie-puppie transportin', physics ignorant, IDIOT mum drivers.

Wanna know how I *really* feel?!?! ;}

Don't bank on it - it's not happening here to any noticeable effect!

>Wanna know how I *really* feel?!?! ;}

US average pump price for basic grade is $3.06/gallon.

US gallons are only just over 4 litres, so that's $0.77/litre, or about
41.5p (0.61 Euro). So about half the European price, at the moment.

European price 1.50 Euro at the moment in the Netherlands, same as a beer in
the bars! Drinking and driving never went well together but now I even can't
afford it!

I wish 41.5p was half the cost in Kent! :-( There's several places charging
over a £1 a litre now, and it only looks like going up further, especially
as the psychological £1 barrier has been broken and there's no
demonstrations in the streets or major outcry!

Hmm, looks like I spoke too soon, apparently demonstrations are being
planned!
