With a beard, these OPEC guys could dress up as Santa Klaus.
Cheap oil: the perfect Christmas present.
Their hope is that it'll scare off investments in other sources of oil and gas (eg, Shale in the US), which would have a bigger, longer term impact on the Opec countries than seeing prices drop to where they are now. They're playing the long game for sure.
Absolutely agree. OPEC are a bunch of blood sucking vermins.
Must ask the MSM what to think.
16.67p is VAT
58p is excise duty.
25.33p is the actual petrol.
Anyone got any opinions on how else the price could be lowered?

You forgot the fuel station's profit margin.
That'll be part of the 25.33p.
Don't forget that price is set by the company that refined it... so in a lot of cases, the owner of the station. That's where the oil companies make their money.
Just a shame that prices of oil have dropped by a half but the price of petrol hasn't.
