Right now over in Austria the prices of Petrol are higher than ever. This has been a record breaking high week says experts. Diesel is desperate over there. They are currently paying 1.398 Euros per litre, but lucky for them no record is shown to break anytime soon. Fuel export Thomas Woitsch says that if the conflict keeps rising over in Iraq, then so will the oil making records higher than ever before. BP according to ÖAMTC was the most expensive fuel stop in the whole country. This weekend experts have stated that a record breaking cost of 1.460 for Super fuel.
As I was reading this article I was shocked. I thought the prices were so high only over in the United States because of our location in the world. And because of how far the have to actually ship it. It's also amazing how a war can conflict with everything, including the fuel which has NOTHING to do with the fight. Gas prices are way to high for anyones liking, but it makes me feel better knowing that the Americans arn't the only ones suffering. Action needs to be taken for the prices of fuel. There should be no reason that they are so high, and if nothing is done there may be action taken by people around the world who take it into their own hands the wrong way.

I like your article. This was really interesting and eye-opening. It really IS amazing how war affects everything, even though no one notices.
ReplyDeletethe thing i find most annoying is that here i america we export virtually all of our oil to foreign countries. But on the shipping distance side, these days we get about as much oil from Canada as from the middle east. it says something lovely that now the common standard for measuring inflation among the masses seems to be gas prices.
ReplyDeleteI like your article. I didn't know prices in Europe for gas were so high. It's not surprising to hear that the war in the Middle East has cause prices to go up.
ReplyDeleteI guess we're not the only ones who are having to pay more a the pump. It's good to know that we have a lot of woes in common with other countries.
ReplyDeleteI agree reading this article kind of made me happy knowing we aren't the only ones who have to pay ridiculous prices for gas.
ReplyDeleteIt is crazy to see the gas prices go up all over just because of an economic collapse in another country. The wars are causing problems all over the place for prices on everything and gas is just the most problomatic all over the world.
