edge Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Well lets hope we keep the percentage going up of people not buying so much fuel. Would be nice to get the government by their nuts for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero-M Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 oil companys will suffer if no one can afford to buy fuel, gouverment wont they will just make our income tax 50% not 23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 It's not 'the Arabs' that are being greedy. It's the city money men who are pushing the prices up with their 'wacky' speculation. These richs c***s are getting even richer by making sure that the ordinary people are being hit in the wallet. They are getting rich off of us.

Absolutely, obviously the government rake it in as a result but these tossbags are the ones that start the ball rolling, remember the one that forced oil up to $100 a barrel just so he could be the first person in history to trade at that price? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7169543.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraAyf Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 The article was based on news from the main russian fuel supplier Agreed, but the O&G market is governed by the Saudi Arabian Oil Consortiums (mutually supported by Kuwait). Russia is simply following KSA's lead which will inevitably screw things up for the rest of us. Iran will be quick to follow suit:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraAyf Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 This may interest you guys:rolleyes:: A very good pal of mine works directly for a Saudi Prince. He is approx 30th in line to the thrown but he owns 40 oil tankers; 30 of the oil tankers have a 1,000,000 Barrel capacity and the rest have a 2Mn capacity. It takes 8-days to fill the lot! He agrees a purchase price prior to loading and then keeps the oil onboard until the price has fluctuated (roughly 2-weeks max). He then agrees a barrel price and sells them on. Therefore: 50Mn barrels @ $10 increase per barrel makes him $500 Million profit for 7-10 days work. Enough said! EDIT: Got my sums wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
