You Might Wana Park Your Skyline Up For A While :)

[scotty014]

if they lowered or cut the tax on fuel that would help, but my skyline is good on fuel anyway.

[R34GTFOUR]

meh, you dont buy a skyline or any "performance" car for that matter for good fuel economy, you do it cause you enjoy driving.

Even though i dont like spending more money on fuel, i still think its relatively cheap. I mean, its my only means of transport and one of my biggest hobbies yet it only cost me 50-60bucks a week to run the thing (beside obvious maintenance), i spend over double that in a night on the piss

HAHAHA i was thinkin the same thing lol

but fuel prices really do suck, i wish i had a company fuel card and a skyline for a company car

Meet me....lol....

[scotty014]

i totally agree with you, its a cheaper hobby than gambling

barrels are up to a USD$93, strong aussie dollar should buffer that though.

expect no more petroleum in the next couple of decades, we will/should be bone dry.

According to Wheels Car magazine (November issue), we have only extracted just over 50% of oil in the world. In the calculations of the article, we cannot burn all oil in the world as this will create far too much co2 emissions, therefore alternative energy vehicles will be in full force before we will drain all the oil in the world.

when your paying $9.50 a litre for race fuel it all sounds so cheap

Yeah, fuel cards are the bomb

The day I garage up my skyline because of fuel prices is the day I should be shot.

proven oil reserves dropped by 0.1% from 2005 to 2006

oil consumption up by 0.7% from 2005 to 2006

and in conjunction with what wheels magazine says that we have extracted just over 50% (i'd like to see their source). we are hitting peak oil now, the fact that we are using more than we can find/produce - we'll see a steep decline in availability* and thus an increase in demand and costs.

*think bell shaped curve.

you are correct, alternative energies is the way to go (despite the irony that we are on a forum for cars that basically eat, live and breathe fuel).

i think the earth will suffocate itself long before any of our distant plans come to fruition.

My friends girl friend is a manager for BP and I will talk to her about all this over the weekend see if she can confirm or deny anything. If I remember correctly I believed she mentioned something a few years ago about BP getting oil from singapore but I could be wrong.

Fuel prices have never made me drive less. High fuel prices just make me more cranky. I love driving so i guess it is the price I pay. When i had my soarer which cost around 120 or more to fill annoyed me and at some points I was paying 1.55-1.60 then when it got writen off =[ the prices went down to something liek 1.20 :S

I guess if it gets to the point of $5 per litre i might drive less but until then i will keep making that hole in the ozone layer bigger.

[TTT]

I heard a rumour that if we all don't buy fuel on Wednesday from BP, australian fuel prices will go down

let's all do it guys..

who's with me?

[bombtrack]

Not gonna happen. Not an overnight double in price which is pretty much what you are sayin

Perhaps not double... but it wouldn't be the first time oil prices jump considerably over night.

Doesn't bother me anyway, until they outlaw fossil fuel or bowser prices reach $5+ or my skyline becomes unstreetable, my line stays on the road

[Haysey]

get a motorbike then you dont care about fuel prices

Another two...what the?

From an attendant at BP?
