Reply to: How much are you willing to pay for a litre of Petrol ?

Well if you think it's safe for you to leave your flat ATW, think again!

Oh okay, I will ask my mate to buy canned food for another year.

Mood on the High Street

That old scottish bloke who mods the board still wants to give you a kicking and that .Net guy still wants you deported.

What's the mood on the High Street MF?

Priced Out

Will get priced out when we hit about £150 per litre I reckon.

The point I was trying to make my little retarded commie friend was that people are going to become decidedly pissed off when they can no longer afford their toys.

True.

If you're so fecking clever why haven't you got a real job?

Perhaps you would care to reach simply conclusion that because I am so fecking clever I have the kind of job I want?

[DimPrawn]

I'm wlling to pay up to 7 (maybe 8) pence a litre. Until then I'm staying in. Feck em.

That's what I said, I suppose I should have used more down to earth words rather than saying the obvious from Economics 101 that fuel is a classic example of an "inelastic product"

Houses will always go up in value. It is impossible for them to go down, I saw that on a TV programme once.

leading to a recession, house price crash and collapsing economy

The thing is AtW, people will continue to buy fuel for their vehicles whatever the price...

Smokes, booze, sugar, salt, fuel for cars are all unelastic products demand for which is pretty much stable until the point when people can't physically buy it -- and the price for this is way over £1 per liter.

This means that all this talk of preferences is pointless -- you will have to pay as much as you get charged for, unless you have alternative means of transport which in many cases is simply not the case.

What's "predator 108's" real name? Derek? and why "drool" over him?

Laugh? Er no, actually I didn't.

I'm going down to Southampton at the weekend, particularly to drool all over the Predator 108.

I quite fancy a trip to the Southampton boat show this weekend or next. Thought I might do my bit for the environment (and Guinness profits) by taking the train.

Cost of train tickets - £110 for the two of us.

Cost of petrol and parking – about £35

So I reckon petrol would have to be around £3 a litre to make it economically viable to use the train.

I'm going down to Southampton at the weekend, particularly to drool all over the Predator 108. If only I had 4.7 million to spare... (Actually if only I had 4.7 million!!!)
