Early numerical data in

Hi to all...

This is just an early indication of what we can expect NEXT Thursday with all the Middle East and North Africa unrest.

After ONE DAY of data, here's what I have as potentially in store for consumers for NEXT Thursday:

• Heating and stove oils show an added 5.2 cents a litre.
• Diesel shows an added six cents even, and...
• Gasoline shows an added 5.5 cents a litre.

I would suggest a fill-up of the home heating oil tanks is now in store as the world oil/political situation will only get worse on the markets before then.

I'll keep everyone up to date on how the numbers are working out, but, right now, the word to the consumer for next Thursday is "not good".
