Fuel up 5p a litre according to the news today.

I noticed last night all the London garages are back up to 1.41 plus

My local esso is holding out at 1.36

Seen it sneak up yesterday mate at the local Shell garage, it's Gideons way of implementing the fuel duty rise.

I don't think it is oil that they get from fracking so it is unlikely to lower the price of diesel.

Quote:
Shale oil, known also as kerogen oil or oil-shale oil, is an unconventional oil produced from oil shale by pyrolysis, hydrogenation, or thermal dissolution. These processes convert the organic matter within the rock (kerogen) into synthetic oil and gas. The resulting oil can be used immediately as a fuel or upgraded to meet refinery feedstock specifications by adding hydrogen and removing impurities such as sulfur and nitrogen. The refined products can be used for the same purposes as those derived from crude oil.

"THEY" want/need us (you and me) on the road in IC engined cars for as long as possible

the day there are true electric cars 500 mile range and super fast (or onboard) charging is the day oil companies and governments fall...

you mark my words

batteries in electric cars are holding it all back

You will get contaminated land, polluted drinking water and damaged housing. Any financial gain will be hoovered up by the Tory brown envelope brigade.

Fracking releases mainly methane gas so will be of little use as road fuel without using FT processing which is expensive because of the large amounts of energy used so whilst it might make us a little less dependant on the russian oligarchs for our gas supplies it won't bring down the price of fuel

There is also the environmental problem of that released gas not all coming up the pipes and working its way up through the ground and contaminating everything in it's path it is a very dirty industry
