In light of the apparent several YEARS of stupid prices that loom ahead for fuel (and of course, the fact it might never go back down at all) I'm thinking I'd like to store some at home that I bought when the price was low, use it to fill the car/bike and then refill the container the next time there's a bit of a dip in price.
Little point. You'd save little unless you bought in bulk.
Listening to a oil person on Radio 5 on Friday night, he pointed out that part of the problem is speculators investing in oil due to the weak dollar rather than supply problems. OPEC don't want to increase capacity but would rather let the market sort itself out.
Yes we may see rises but on past form there may well be a price dip at some stage just like the 1970's.
Hoarding fuel is just daft and you risk burning your house down. 5 litres for the mower is fine, but you'd need hundreds of litres to make it worthwhile for a car
