    I filled up a 200L Drum on Saturday for .73.4 for regular unleaded. Looking for some more drums to fill as well.
    You are not alone ; don't forget to put a splash of fuel stabilizer in the drum if you intend to store it for a while...I'm hoping for $1/l for 98RON before I fill drums.

    Don't forget it'll only drop to about 0.65 - 0.70c because Oil ain't Petrol.. Petrol is a product of Oil..

    The Government Will Not remove taxes and refining costs haven't changed - either will shipping cost … So expect to still be ripped off.. lol

    Hehe... Buy GOLD.. Nobody is driving, flying, industrial demand is also low. What did they expect ? Look at the Treasury yields. Explains it all.

    They have ran out of space to store Oil and will soon pay you to take it.. lol Unbelievable isn't it ? Who would of thought eh ?

    Wish I could be there to drink the tears of the oil barons.

    Nah! Petrol ain't cheap enough yet. Wait until the flow on from the negative barrel price. They'll be paying you to fill your tank soon...................(I wish!!!!)

    Very happy still to drive my car for free, purely charged with solar energy and when the price of petrol goes to $2 as you predicted, I will certainly be laughing.

    Too late! They ARE paying you to take the oil! I bet we won't see anything nearly that "saving" when we next fill our fuel tank.

    Your spot on bud....Some prices are/were at negative $$$ which then means that oil supposed to be delivered on 20/5 the buyer has to pay $$$ for it not to be delivered.. Go Figure!!

    Everything has been turned upside down.. lol

    Look what just happened to Singapore,, 2nd wave lockdown, now the next get-out-of-jail card is early June for them.

    It's looking like a vaccine is the only way. /who knows.

    My prediction is come September or so when the majority of this is over and people don't give a shit about staying home any more, Petrol could hit $2 a litre as the oil companies try to make up for lost revenue.
    don't forget regular unleaded goes off quicker than premium if not closed properly.
    Would hate to see your investment suck in moisture over the winter months and then turn to fuel issues in your expensive limo

    maybe put moth balls in there combined with metho to break down the water droplets and make it smell pretty when your limo burns it while driving down the street
