Petrol price action

[Tarbicus]

Yes, but OPEC also make less than cetain other govt's do on a barrel, so their reluctance to ramp up production when others, who are making more out of it than they are to start with, request them to, is understandable!

Not understandable in the slightest. So, are OPEC performing a public service as you suggested, or are they in it for profit? When they make the kinds of profits that I've seen (trillions of dollars combined) I have no sympathy.

Paul, if my neighbour gets mugged and robbed, do I just say screw them because it didn't happen to me? More so if it happens to my pensioner parents or my friends. The increases in crude price also ramps up more than just petrol price. It takes up the cost of everything, especially everything that has plastic in it. So it really does hit me in a number of ways.
