....may go up significantly in the next week, if this isn't sorted out.

I am surprised there aren’t more incidences of such crime or devilment. Maybe they don’t get reported unless like this it has an obvious effect.

Oil companies will find any excuse to raise the prices, it's good for shareholders and pension companies.

[Doctor Gollum]

It's quite likely to be a deliberate act to destabilise public trust in pipelines as a forerunner to shutting it down.

Pump prices in the States have almost doubled since February.

[Sir Tigger KC]

You'd think that they could send a little man (or woman) to go out and manually open the valves with one of those big steering wheel type thingies.   

That's progress for you!

 Wow must nearly be £1.00 a gallon

Yesterday it was $2.96 on average, so cheap to us, but our American friends will continue to cry about it.  They moaned to me in 1998 about it reaching $1 per gallon, so this is a disaster!

Dont forget their gallons are smaller than ours.  Still cheap as chips compared to the UK though.

It used to be the case that the average tank over there only did 15mpg, don't know if that's still the case.

Apart from the gas guzzlers that some Americans still drive, the majority of cars are Japanese, European, or other ‘economy’ examples.  In 1990 there were still plenty of big engined American automobiles to choose from, in 1998 we even hired a 5.5 litre Ford Crown Victoria - a brilliant sedan, but when I visited in 2010 we were so disappointed. Toyotas, Mercs, BMW’s  and other European type engined cars were everywhere. Even the GM, Dodge and other home built vehicles had economy type engines, but were vastly out numbered by ‘our type of car”.Muscle cars still exist, but in far fewer numbers than back in the day!

Gone had the good old days of true American automobile motoring.

US petrol supplies tighten after Colonial Pipeline hack https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-57081386

[Sir Tigger KC]

The supply of those damn fossil fuels have become so unreliable that everyone will have to buy electric cars and we'll let the next generation worry about the electricity supplies! 

[Rangie]

Pedal power for me , there is no way I will ever purchase an electric car if petrol/diesel ever ceases to be I'm afraid, it just ain't right..😂

[STEMO]

Apparently, a $5 million ransom changed hands to get the pipeline up and running.

Nothing to do with him, a purely commercial decision. If he's got a pussy, he'd better watch out the orange sex offender doesn't grab it 

[Doctor Gollum]

By saying it's a 'private company and therefore a private matter' when a third of the country is being held to ransome is almost treasonous.

Have a read of this, should play into your idiocy lunacy conspiracy theory mindset:

Safe until at least 2024

The seat maybe... His pussy will gone after the mid terms... Assuming he doesn't have another stroke before then.

I seem to remember you saying Donald would win the last election. Easily, no doubt about it, without question, so you'll forgive me if I doubt your assumptions. 

[Doctor Gollum]

You still presume that he didn't

That's why right-wingers insist infrastructure be kept or made private. Biden and Harris would fit in well with many UK Tories like Cameron or May.

Ok, if it had been that pipe that runs from Fawley to Heathrow and Gatwick, would Boris have left it to Esso or Shell?

[Sir Tigger KC]

No he'd have got British Petroleum on to it!

Is there one that isn't owned by Esso? As well as the one that runs from an Esso refinery to an Esso storage depot?

[STEMO]

If they attacked an oil pipe here, they'd only ask for twenty quid.

Apparently the issue wasn't that the pipeline was shut down or affected,but rather that the companys billing process was hit so they couldn't get paid for what they were supplying.
