Fears oil will top US$150 a barrel if Iran conflict doesn't end soon

ffs here we go again, $150 oil? might as well just sell the car and get a horse

Casey Adams2026-07-23T22:59:23.000Z

lol exactly, they've been saying this for years and nothing changes

Casey Adams2026-07-23T22:58:23.000Z

yeah nah this is just fear mongering to push up prices. oil companies love a good crisis

can't even afford to fill my tank now and it's only gonna get worse. bloody government doing nothing as usual

Taylor Wright2026-07-24T00:03:23.000Z

facts, and the govt just sits on their hands raking in the tax

im no expert but maybe if we invested in more renewables instead of relying on oil we wouldn't be in this mess

Interesting that RNZ didn't mention the exact percentage increase this week. Would've been useful context.

RNZ2026-07-24T00:28:23.000Z

wouldn't expect much context from them tbh

Stuff2026-07-24T00:12:23.000Z

watch it hit $150 then all the MPs will say 'we never saw it coming' while they drive their electric company cars

Ella Thompson2026-07-24T00:49:23.000Z

fair point but we gotta start somewhere eh

Phoenix Reid2026-07-24T00:28:23.000Z

hoping for peace soon, no one wants more conflict. but yeah the price hikes are hurting everyone
