most people complain about the price of petrol (myself included) but its actually really cheap tbh. think of how much work goes into getting the oil in the first place (first finding it, then building rigs to extract it, can't be cheap, especially when doing it at sea), then converting it into petrol, then delivering it to stations, and so on.
and its £1.30 or so a litre. thats cheaper then a pint of beer from a pub, which has F all costs compared to petrol. its nearly cheaper then a litre of milk from a supermarket, and how much cost can there be in keeping a cow.
granted its a bitch, since only a few years ago it was like 80p a litre. but at the end of the day, its still relativity cheap
It's not like they build a rig to extract 1 barrel...
