We'll all be interested soon enough, I can see Oil running out within the next few decades. They're already predicting $200 a barrell in 2008.

That would then cost the best part of £95 to fill a TX2. That's when I pack up and go back to another career in another part of my life.

That's also when the economy breaks down, and we're fighting to get a pint of milk for under a £1 and a loaf of bread for £2.

Makes you wonder doesn't it when only last week the Americans had that much oil that they gave millions of barrels away to Africa.

The commodities markets are in control.... waste chip fat used to be £120 a Ton which is the equivalent to 1000 litres............ it is now 400 pound a Ton plus 30 p tax per litre .... it is now becoming expansive.... and rapeseed oil is also sold on the commodities market. and that is going up up up....


Tax on chip fat? What tax is that then?

When you make chip fat into bio fuel you are liable to pay a tax of 30 p per litre to this glorious government of ours.... but you do not have to pay the tax for the first 2500 litres, if you start production you also have to pay for a Licence, but don't worry that will only cost you 3 to £4,000.............. but if you read the article ,You will see they are making changes to that... what they are I am not quite sure as yet.... :shock: .


Are you saying that if I want to make my 2,500 litres myself I will need a license that will cost me over £1.00 per litre just to do so?

We don't all drive economical Minicabs that mascerade as Taxi's. :wink:

Plus it's a well known fact you've drilled into that pipeline from Grangemouth that runs under Carlisle.

With the markets hypnotised by the approach of $100-a-barrel oil, analysts are ready to point the finger at all the usual suspects: speculators, the Opec bogeyman, the weak dollar, soaring consumption in China and India and geopolitical tensions. All play a part - but the real cause is altogether less palatable. The world is running short of oil, and this time it is likely to be permanent.

For all their power and profits, the world's biggest oil companies are in trouble. These days they struggle to replace the oil they produce each year with fresh discoveries - but it's not for lack of trying.

:shock:
