Heading skywards again,

The cynic in me thinks this is why Trump has been war-mongering.

.....OR - due to the fact that Trump is on the warpath??

Make no bones about it, this man wants a war on his list of accolades. Nothing drives prices up like uncertainty in the markets, and the only thing predictable about Trump is his unpredictability.
In pure diplomatic terms, the man is a ticking time-bomb on a very short fuse.....quite literally wanting to start a modern-day Crusade. He's a disgrace to this country.

The US military use as much oil as India so if war is on the agenda then it would make sense for oil companies to raise prices from an economic standpoint

I'm loving high oil prices. Share price is through the Roof

Same, and for purely selfish reasons high oil prices are fantastic right now as the field I’m on in drying up and has 3-4 yrs of production left. The next project was uncertain due to financial viability but high prices will make it viable and secure my future employment.

Expect gas and electricity prices to go up as well.

I had an email yesterday to say wholesale gas prices have gone up 13%.

I had the same one from Bulb.

I'm seeing petrol over the 130p mark now.

No cheaper over here too now - i paid 1.45 euros yesterday so almost the same. It always used to be a good 10% cheaper here - not any more.

Just seen normal unleaded listed at £1.41 this morning at a BP garage.

I see that super/premium petrol prices are creeping up. I suspect that people are using it now to avoid the standard petrol and ethanol.

I nearly did just that last night. 1.339 for Premium (E10) or 1.409 for Super (E5)... I couldn't justify it.

I've recently started using super in the bike. Kawasaki says my bike is OK on the ethanol, but I do so few miles it's not going to cost much more.

Spanish fuel is all E10 and has been for ages. It stores really well in the bike too. Their super is insanely good in my ZX6R!!!

Not sure if it's the placebo, but my bike does seem smoother (for want of a better word) on it

Only use super on anything I own ask any reputable engine builder and tuner and they will say stay away from cheap petrol
Personally I don’t follow the cost of fuel I put in my bike ,it makes me smile so worth it

On the way back up again. £1.42 on the way home tonight.

I see the British public are panic buying again

Too many sad acts in this Country.

They will probably be the same people berating immigrants, who have nothing at all, trying to come to the UK for a better life.
