Oil going up , so is petrol

John from East Invercargill

Anyone that fills the tank will know that petrol prices have been going up so I thought I would let people know that don't follow the international oil market that they can expect further increases at the pump.

There was a drop last month… View moreAnyone that fills the tank will know that petrol prices have been going up so I thought I would let people know that don't follow the international oil market that they can expect further increases at the pump. Last October Brent oil was 37 USD , today it is 82 USD. There was a drop last month down to 65 but added 15 $ last two weeks. The US Department of Energy ( DoE ) have decided not to tap into the strategic reserves which may have taken a "little" pressure off. The cost of international gas has risen dramatically recently to around the equivalent of 200 USD a barrel so many industries are switching from gas to oil which is putting more upward pressure on the oil price. With the Northern hemisphere heading into winter there is again an increased demand for heating oil. All points to further increases at our pumps. This is not a definitive and exact look at the oil market but a basic heads up of what we can expect over the next few months so those that bother can prepare for an increase in their weekly fuel bills along side increases in food transport costs . How much will that be I don't know but another 10- 15 cents per litre should not be a surprise in the next few weeks and leading up to Christmas .. Saudi Arabia have an expensive war with Yemen to pay for plus guaranteed dividends for Aramco and Russia will be quite happy to make some more from their oil in face of various sanctions from the US so I don't expect any love and caring coming from that direction to force the price down.

After his exam the doctor said to the elderly man: "You appear to be in good health. Do you have any medical concerns you would like to ask me about?
"In fact, I do," said the old man. "After I have sex I am usually cold and chilly, and then, after I have sex with her the second time, I am usually hot and sweaty."
After examining his elderly wife, the doctor said: "Everything appears to be fine. Do you have any medical concerns that you would like to discuss with me?"
The lady replied that she had no questions or concerns. The doctor then said to her: "Your husband had an unusual concern. He claims that he is usually cold and chilly after having sex with you the first time, and then hot and sweaty after the second time. Do you know why?"
"Oh that crazy old fart," she replied. "That's because the first time is usually in July and the second time is in January".
