I have been enjoying Doug Gollum's frantic digging to justify his
claim that petrol is too cheap. I think a quick recap of his journey
is in order:
1. Dung claims that petrol is cheaper than water. That claim is
comprehensively demolished.
2. Dung claims that petrol is similar in price to water. That claim
is comprehensively demolished.
3. Dung claims that the price of petrol is, in some unspecified way,
comparable to water, thereby "proving" his claim. That claim is
comprehensively demolished.
4. Dung claims that petrol is cheaper than ethanol. That claim is
comprehensively demolished.
5. Dung is now claiming that petrol is cheaper than electricity.
However, to make this claim work, he has to use a price of 15p per kWh
for electricity. That is 50%% more than I (and I suspect eveyone else)
pay. If you use a more realistic price, the price per kWh of petrol
and electricity is almost identical.
Two questions: Where can Dung go next in this incredible journey?
And has he reached the centre of the earth yet?

And may I congratulate you "Steve" for no longer claiming you have homes
wherever Doug mentions an "incident" so that you must know better than
him/have local knowledge :)
