hypnodoc It's All In Your Mind Gold Donating Members 2,198 Member For: 21y 15d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 19/06/08 11:00 AM Share Posted 19/06/08 11:00 AM The continually rising oil price will bring a burst of global hyperinflation. Simple maths, if fuel rise by 50% in a year, then inflation will keep pace at about 20% during the following year, the more it keeps going up the greater the potential for an inflation blowout becomes. Maybe that's why the Reserve Bank has stopped raising interest rates. They know what is going to become of what remains of many peoples disposable incomes in the next 18 months. I think a lot of people are going to be forced into horrid little hybrid things and other poor excuses for cars out of financial necessity, then within 5 years it will become the norm.

Our strong $ is only strong against the US$ which pretty much has gone to the sh*tter most other currency in the asia pacific region (our suppliers) has stayed relatively stable so comparing to the US$ is kinda a moot pointthe truth is we are being bent over and slapped a little funny and as much as the govenment would like us to believe it's the petrol stations doing the ramming it is also the govenment not removing those "temporary" taxes, but as hypnodoc pointed out if the taxes were droped interest rates would most likely rise then all you would be doing is paying more for your house.Dont get me wrong on that I am not saying that the fuel companies are not inflating the price, they are so to are the finance guys who buy and sell the fuel on both short term and long term contracts, ie: notice the drop in fuel price that's about to happen as a result of china raising there fuel tax. Iraq negotiating fuel supply and the US demand for fuel shrinking as they finally learn that a SUV sucks fuel like a dog licks balls!on the flip side look at it like this, the more people pay for petrol, the less people will drive when public transport is available, the less people drive the less traffic there is, and we all know when there is less traffic you drive faster, the faster you reach yor destination the less fuel you use.
