Fuel Prices...

[Astro Boy]

CSIRO's prediction of fuel prices in a decade just hit me like a tonne of bricks...

 

8 BLOODY DOLLARS!!!

 

Which probably means autogas or LPG whatever its called is going to be $4??

I'm a few years away from getting my licence and even driving a car... With prices that high i wouldnt be even able to afford to drive my corolla!

What do YOU think is going to happen?

 

I'm afraid... Very affraid... :P

[WinKE55]

I'm up for a riot.

 

 

Graffiti the petrol stations and shit. I'd fight back.. Government is getting too greedy and I am not afraid to stop there awful sin ways..

 

 

Hopefully our weekly wages will go up as well with the fuel prices.. Fuel is needed so many people will still buy fuel anyway.. Just like cigarettes..

:P :cool: :dance: RRRIIIOOOTTT!! :dance: :fuzz: :fuzz

 

Yeah everything goes up, including wages. I predict in 15 years a loaf of bread will be $29.99 and i'll be earning $200,000 at Hungry Jacks mopping up spew.

Just be thankful you don't live in Zimbabwe...

 

Hyperinflation for the lose

[Astro Boy]

Maybe when i get a job i'll save up $10,000 and do a DIY electric motor job on my corolla

:P

I foresee underground fuel supply where people steal petrol tankers and sell cheap bluejuice in backallyes to all the drifter and hill races.

i think i got the conversion right.

$8 a litre in 10 years isn't really a problem coz we will all be earning a lot more in 10 years too.

[marksKE25]

conversion like Prince Charlie, convert the car to run on wine, i think the year of the car should be the year of the wine that you use.....

[Jono]

but electric conversions will be cool. i've been thinking of converting my '04 hilux to electric motor, only need to have 150km range at the most as its only a work truck. plenty of room under the tray for batteries etc, as well as a fairly big engine bay + already has W series gearbox and obviously a hilux diff to cope with the torque.

$80 to get to work and back each day.

I heard in the UK they are paying $3 per litre for petrol right now.

At the end of this year i think petrol will be $2 for australia.

[Kid-Ae]

Funnily enough they said that it would be $2 by the end of last year. didn't happen, although it wouldnt surprise me if it did.

[Tume]

Reckon by the time 10 years has past Australia will be forward enough with the development and use of its technology for this not to be a great major problem. It always seems that the world's best inventions that move us forward through the ages are in times of stress.

 

If you converted an old Rolla with a 3K in it to electricity it might even have a bit more power! If only SA would approve production of the electric conversions in cars, after all we have the facilities to be able to do it.

I've converted all my cars to run on a blend of virgin's blood and extract of unicorn. Its cheaper.
