Didnt read the article, is there a blockout or something?

There is a 4 day strike by the shell tanker drivers over a wage dispute which is causing a shortage of fuel in some areas

Time to walk.

Bikes are selling out everywhere I'm sure LOL spending a bit extra to get an easier pedaling bike helps a LOT. Some bikes are a LOT of work to go over 10MPH while some do it incredibly easy and even go over 20 without much work.

that must really suck ass!!

On top of all of this the haulage, farmers and other companys who use trucks or road transport are also holding demonstrations about the high fuel prices and are threating to block the refinarys as they did last time, If this happens again its gonna cause a lot more problems and everyone will be rushing out to fill up, which causes huge bloody queues and the garages end up running out of fuel, its a total nightmare

So it is the speculators after all lol. I was a tad concerned that we might have hit peak oil.

Ya its the falling dollar and investors. There is no real shortage other than people and countries are having a hard time finding the money to buy it. Peak Oil and supply and demand are mostly propaganda tools.

greedy fuckers
