fuel crisis looms

13 Sep 2005

The best thing I saw tonight was that you can convert your car to run on cooking oil... and even better it can also use filtered cooking oil that your local chippy has to dump as its become to old to use.... but should you have the conversion and ask your local chippy "all that crap oil that you have to pay to get rid off... i'll take it off your hands for nothing...." you then filter it and use it in your car... you have to declair it and then pay HMG 24p a lita so save the chippy and cooking oil companys paying polution tax.... LIKE FUCK ME ITS WASTE, ITS BEING RECYCLED, IT COST NOTHING, ITS BEEN TAXED ALREADY, ITS NOT GOING TO END UP AS LAND FILL, wake up HMG and go take a flying fuck up your own concieted self indulgent arseholes....

I have a friend doing just that. Buying waste oil, filtering it, and using it in his landrover. It costs him about 40p a gallon. Occasionally it smells like a chipshop lol

I believe the Government are thinking of taxing this, so we don't stop buying petrol in large numbers :cry:

Quite frankly although inconvienient its about time the british people got some blody balls and used the same power of the people the french and the US populus have....
LPG will be taxed even higher as soon as it becomes more popular than petrol and desil... as far as HMG is concerned it not about carbon or polution... but making money to pay some quango to say that we need a better transport system and also more quangos to make more stupid sugestions to make more money to have more quangos.

if people cant survive for a couple of weeks of inconvienienvce and even not getting to work to wake up HMG to people power then they deserve petrol at 4 pounds a lita and when they do they are not allowed to say "its to blody expensive..." in the 80's people would never have contemplated petrol at the price it is now... and the states still dont.. only us brits that roll over to get our tummys ticklled the moment HMG say bend over... we love being right butt fucked by the goverment cos we are all cowards.. all stiff upper lip and that crap!

The US people wouldnt stand for the prices we pay over here... infact they even have rules, I believe, that doesnt allow the pumps to be owned by the oil companys so the power of the consumer runs slightly deeper than the "tax/duty"
The last time there was a protest everyone was up in arms and slagged off the protestors (especially the papers) and now we are at nearly 1 pound per lita when the us is nearer 1 pound a gallon.
The biggest feck up was when we had to go to litas and not gallons as any gov that put over about 3pence a gallon duty would not have been in power for long, but we are so stupid that 3pence a lita doesnt register yet works out about 12p(ish) a gallon... if HMG had put a 12p gallon increase back in the 80's it would not have lasted the week never mind waiting for a general election.
HMG knows that no matter how expensive petrol is, we wont give up our cars... simple!!!
Trains have been proven to, even fully laiden, be less eficient than a car with one occupent for the output of carbon particulates and also miles per gallon usage of raw fuel per people moved per mile.
LPG will be taxed even higher as soon as it becomes more popular than petrol and desil... as far as HMG is concerned it not about carbon or polution... but making money to pay some quango to say that we need a better transport system and also more quangos to make more stupid sugestions to make more money to have more quangos.

And before anyone asks.... yes i have been inconvienienced by twats who filled up... drove 15 miles... came back... then topped up..... as i couldnt get to where i wanted to be tonight.
BUT

OH and while i'm on a rant... perhaps we shoudl all go green and have electric cars? welll DUR so where does that electricity come from... like power stations that burn fule to produce lecki... then we have the wastage of the electricity as its moved to the power points we charge our electric cars from... The only "clean" fuel is atomic... but it creates a waste prduct that will be with us for 10's of thousands of years.
We also have now in nottingham an electic tram... and also a new road system that is designed to keep cars waiting and going around in circles far longer than the original system so people on the trams can get from a to b quickly (if they dont have 4 bags of shopping from tescos) but the rest of the trafic is being forced to be grid locked so increasing the amount of fuel waisted and the amount of polution in the city...
also while the tram physically infront of you produces no polution it produces more polution than the equivilent number of cars.... its just produces it outside of the city and in other places in the uk because it has to draw the power from electricity generating stations....

bloody hell pierced jon i hope u feel better after all that.i agree though with wot you said were taxed and double taxed on just about everything.
rip off britain, holidays,cars,clothes,booze,cigs all cost more in this country.

When the last petrol crisis was on, I got fed up paying Â£5 a day to pay on an overcrowded bus that took as long to drive the 15 or so miles as I could cycle it, so I bought a secondhand bike, ruined a suit cycling it home in the pouring rain, and it was all over the next day.
I'd buy it but there aren't any mountains in the flat Fens.

The best thing to do when this situation is resolved is to go to the pump one afternoon with a couple of jerry cans fill them to capacity and leave them in your garage untill the next time the proplem occurs, because you know it will happen again

Well the petrol station near me has run out......................
what a joke this crises is. This is caused by the media stoking the fire. People are not reasonable either.....
Two people have work have said they have filled there car up completley. What greedy *********. OK there might be a slight shortage, but it doesnt help when people panic but.
To be honest the goverment needs to step down from its high horse and sort this mess out.

I would have thought the British public was not as gullible as shown through their panic buying, and the negative consequences they have brought upon themselves through (lack of) availability and (higher) prices.
While the Powers that be felt that the Ashes should be more fairly distributed globally (18 years southern hemisphere and 1 year northern), before returning to the common cycle again next year, things just do not look pleasant at the moment in the land of the great grey cloud.
Well we have just heard that your national team sport heros (sic) are been relegated to #11 on the FIFA top football team spot. The English rubgy team could be beaten by the NZ womens rugby team on current performances. Your just about getting into the shitty winter months.
I guess what I am leaning towards is getting the whole SH clan to forget about the miseries of the UK and have a holiday down under in good old New Zealand and/or our western island Australia. At the very least you will be able to enjoy petrol at less than 40p per litre. Actually I don[t really know why your up in arms about the cost of petrol - crikey you pay a lot more for a cup of coffee and how much liquid do you get in that (or a bottle of water for that matter) - petrol is CHEAP and PLENTIFUL downunder.
Let me know if you are serious about looking for accommodation in Gods Own Country - because if you want time on the beach I will have exactly what you are looking for. Bye for now
