Born Hunter 17,738 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 See what happens when the Iranian sanctions are lifted and the western oil company's start investing, ramping up Iranian production. Aramco have the power to seriously influence the world economy through managing their own production, the Iranians look to potentially be able to do the same. Bit of competition in the middle east...

Accip74 7,112 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Diesel was still cheaper when I first bought my own van 20 years ago, but it soon went up! Diesel €1.08 in my local...................which is nice ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blackbriar 8,569 Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I've got him down as a Kia or Hyundai man. You know perfectly well that I was the owner of a Kia Soul (wretched machine !) I brought the subject up purely as I was surprised in the fall of diesel prices.........but since you mention it......... Skoda Yeti 2 litre diesel (4 wheel drive) - perfect for, say, a weekend's trip to the wilder parts of West Wales.......or pulling a caravan.........or both ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ok.....a couple of weeks ago it cost me about £20 to drive from brussels to North Essex, is that proper enough? :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 My mrs still thinks you can fill the tank for £20 and get a pack of fags with the change. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
