Before the woohoo'ing gets out of hand, where was this find exactly? The UK? Or somewhere pleasant like Yemen?

 

With oil, sadly, price isn't related to the world's available reserves. It's related to things like political stability in Russia and the ludicrous potentates in Saudi, as well as Iraq and Nigeria - or the extent to which any of them are turning the taps on or off.

Think the Yanks might have a say in how the field is developed then, and will probably want first dibs.

the likes of BP will still find a way of charging way ott for it, oh and then the gov will add their 2-5p extra on it again. 107p this morning, most expensive in europe again. And then today the pm drops massive hints about more of the "middle classes" have their paye tax raised to get the country out of the mess that labour et al created, brilliant!!

When you're right, you're right. Finger on the trigger as always, TDD.

Submarine access in the Gulf of Mexico is quite good by my reckoning. Probably has to do with the fact that there is lots of sea.

Aren't TESCO doing their spend £50 and get an extra 5p off each litre of fuel again ?

+ ClubCard points which are worth 4 x their value in deals making their petrol well under a quid a litre, actually equates to nearer 90p a litre. Can't go wrong imo.
