Try_conti 2nd Gear December 31, 2007 Share December 31, 2007 maybe i'm ignorant but can someone explain how Pakistan's turmoil has an effect on crude prices ? Or is it just an excuse for the speculators to jack up the price and take profit immediately as evident in the article ..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verve 1st Gear December 31, 2007 Author Share December 31, 2007 although in the long term fundamentals play a part, the reality is that market prices in the short run are always driven by perception especially by fear oil is no different and has a few unique factors that worsen this limited supply supply controlled to a greater part by opec inelasticity in price due to lack of good substitutes in the short run: sure there are substitutes but these substitutes either cost more or require more $$$ to develop into a viable alternative (no thanks to the oil companies working discreetly behind the scenes to impede the development eg inventor of car that runs on water murdered, death of the electric car and etc) and so there you have it, maybe its time to switch to cng Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

XLR8 1st Gear January 1, 2008 Share January 1, 2008 http://sg.news.yahoo.com/afp/20071231/tts-...ce-c1b2fc3.html this sounds like really bad news. looks like its gonna cost a lot more to own my dream turbo ride liao Think everybody immune to it liao. Up also nobody bothers but to accept the increase LL. It'll prob be this way till it hits the "ridiculous" point (prob $3-4 per litre) then ppl will slowly give up driving and take "BMW" liao.

Nullifi3d 4th Gear January 1, 2008 Share January 1, 2008 Didnt we say that when petrol prices hit $2/litre. Well its all about price inelasticity. No matter what the cost we still need fuel. The thing is how much more can we pay? Where do we draw the line and say its too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XLR8 1st Gear January 1, 2008 Share January 1, 2008 Nah, for me $2 is still ok. All along it hovers around 1.50-1.60 ++ so the increase is still acceptable. But if you're talking about $3-$4, its a totally different ball game altogether. Thats like double. A 50 litre tank will cost $150-200 as compared to $100 currently. Now thats where I personally draw the line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verve 1st Gear January 1, 2008 Author Share January 1, 2008 wait and see next year at this rate $3 can be a reality either next year or in 09. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XLR8 1st Gear January 1, 2008 Share January 1, 2008 Possibly. $150 full tank! I pump 6 times a month, so its like $900 for petrol? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gantan88 Clutched January 1, 2008 Share January 1, 2008 I think the immediate step singaporean would take is to drive less or stagger between using their cars and taking BMW, since... they cannot just sell off their car like that.... if not they will spend less on other things and channel their money for petrol. Financially sound ppl will do this. Those unsound will start to do credit card cash advance and chalk up the credit card bills.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diehardsu Clutched January 1, 2008 Share January 1, 2008 If more ppl take to BMW , hopefully COE head south,then can buy cars loh, then what's the point when petrol is sky high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verve 1st Gear January 1, 2008 Author Share January 1, 2008 BMW price will rise too, cos govt will say money no enough due to high oil prices, but then again at most $50 more a month. $50 here......$50 there .........adds up to a good few hundred a month.
