Hey all.
I'm the proud owner of a 54 vec which I really like. Its great on the Mway and has enough size to transport pretty much anything I need it to.
However with the price of fuel the way it is, and the way it seems to be going, I'm really thinking about getting rid....
Back last time when the fuel price went really high (about 120p for unleaded round my way) oil price hit nearly $150 a barrel.
Now the oil price is about $98 a barrel, and we're paying more at the pump..
I've not seen an explanation for this anywhere, but as far as I can see, the pump price goes up IMMEDIATELY when oil goes up, but pretty much stays the same when oil goes down, think about it, oil price fluctuates up and down all the time, but when did you last see the pump price go down?, and my worry is that if the oil price continues to climb and hits $150 again, what would the pump price be like?
I'm getting 48.5mpg on a 1.9cdti (120bhp), which isn't bad I know, but there are smaller diesels out there capable of about 70+mpg....
Anyone else concerned and having these dark thoughts?
