Last I heard we had 20 billion barrels of oil in the North Sea, that's from known sources and more is being looked for all the time.

I’m glad I’m not using the x5 every day. I stopped at £120, it wasn’t close to empty and hadn’t clicked off at full. I just decided that was enough for the moment.

Pretty sure fuel was at a similar level back in Autumn 2022 when I bought it.

It's crazy. I was reading that fuel refined in the UK is included in the national carbon limits and thus heavily taxed. But if it's imported it isn't. Hence why we're so reliant on diesel imports now. You can included pretty much everything in that.
So much of the "cost of living crisis" is manufactured by the government. The net zero stuff is mostly bureaucracy and accounting tricks to look good on paper and at this point I think it's likely to be heavily impacted by foreign actors.
Fuel, farming, energy, manufacturing - all becoming increasingly contingent on hostile countries to their benefit whilst people here get squeezed so we can pretend we're saving something. Most of the population brainwashed beyond the point of return. 650 fuckpuppets representing us. Debt to the balls.
Maybe I had one drink too many
