Cost of 1 litre of petrol after oil companies and forecourts take their profit margin : £0.33
Tax : bloody unacceptable.

Next year however will be much better. There will be a huge sigh of relief in January when these blood suckers are swept out of DC, regardless of who wins. Look for this year to be one of the worst in American history as far as the economy goes though.

Really? Wasn't Congress pushing to tax the oil companies for some ungodly about of money and use it to fund "Alternative fuel projects"??
And when this happens, the oil companies will make sure to pass the cost onto the consumers.
If Clinton is elected, expect her Socialist ideas of "wealth sharing" to backfire at the pump.

Wonder what the panic was in the 70's and 80's. Did they react the same way? Yup.
I remember when it was "dried" up or atleast that is what the Media told us. Long lines waiting for gas because of the panic. Stations closing because they were "out" of gas etc.
