So fuel prices are rising..... however...... look at it like this.......
The cheapest bottled water in Tesco's costs about 30c per litre.
I've just paid €1.44 per litre for petrol this morning when I filled up.
If you take the tax off that its approximately 90c.
Oversimplifying slightly I grant you, but the water just has to be bottled, transported to the store and put on a shelf. Petrol on the other hand has to be pumped out of the ground (after many millions has been spent on locating it), transported to a refinery, processed by an extremely complex and high tech plant, transported once again, often overseas, loaded into tankers, transported again to filling stations and stored with all the safety considerations that entails and then retailed to you...... all for 90c a liter.....
I'm just amazed that petrol is as cheap as it is.....!!!!!
