Re: Oil Prices dropping $4 dollars a day
Ah, but you're missing out 2 years of tory increases there, labour didn't take over in 1995... Check your calendar before you reach for the calculator

Re: Oil Prices dropping $4 dollars a day
They have been on the news a few times.
Pads are located on the floor and if someone pulls away from a pump without paying, the spikes strip (like a stinger) comes up and a siren and tannoy tell the driver to stop or else lol. If they carry on and go over the strip their tyres go down instantly and a coded chip is put into each tyre which is also trackable. Costs about £12k to install and will apparently pay for itself after 2 years. EDIT: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...rt-cheats.html Petrol around here is 119.9p still, no sign of a drop yet. Its goes up as soon as oil prices do, but never comes down as quick lol

I sometimes see petrol prices the same way I see house prices, a bubble waiting to burst, hopefully this is it bursting
