Currently May 2022:
• Petrol £1.66
• Diesel £1.80
Personally £2,494 per year worse (£24 per tank extra).
The uk used to strike against working people being fleeced, how have the people been this tamed?
You fill up your car 100 times a year? That seems like a lot compared to my average. I maybe do ot once every couple of weeks!
Do you do a ton of driving or is it an inefficient car?
I thought cars were made to look at them not drive them 
That fuel is only 11.8% more expensive over 4 decades shows how little policy makers really care about climate change, supporting petrostates, pollution. It’s a shame its so politically popular to continue to subsidise this.

Regular 1.6 petrol engine.
Yup, involved in events & festivals all over the place & London commute.
Fill up twice per week. 50l tank.
I would expect most who commute to find the extra £24 x2 per week to be a substantial hit. That’s losing £2,500 per year to invest. I can see why Buffet purchased billions in oil stocks.

The Consumer Prices Index (CPI) rose by 9.0% in the 12 months to April 2022, up from 7.0% in March. This is the highest CPI 12-month inflation rate in the National Statistics series, which began in January 1997
will we see +20% interest rates? i think we may…
the supply chain wont be sorted like many think it will, too much capex required. Stagflation here to stay
Sorry @smellylegend but I genuinely spat out my tea! 20%? Yes T he adults need to take back control of the economy and take the treats away from the toddlers but 20% Interest rates would be depression causing.

Yip. I’m factoring in inflation being much stronger than the consensus and my risk profile includes it, making me somewhat of a prepper.
The fact that it doesn’t seem to be on many folks’ radars to me is striking. The chain reactions of future trade wars/commodities nationlizations between countries will have knock on effects that compound. A reverse in globalisation will be very painful (or even a “reallocation” of supply chains)
17% in 1979. Over 10% for a decade. Would you empty your Freetrade account and stick it in the bank if you could get 10%?

For me depends on inflation rate and what the markets are doing.
As I understand it, high inflation and low interest rates are good for some people.
If you owe a lot of money this would be the case as you aren’t paying much interest and inflation is destroying the capital value of the debt over time

Yes that’s what I read. Not only that, if house price inflation stays high, this adds to the effect.
Some, but tbh I don’t really trust the banking sector.
Look at Target stock. Like, that’s like Tesco or Sainsburys going down 25% in one day. Hugeeee sell off.
I think this pretty much confirms a recession
