    British Gas has announced it is cutting standard household gas prices by an average of 7%, with immediate effect.
    The price cut, which the company says will benefit eight million households, will save the average customer £55 a year, British Gas said.

    How true:o I was just thinking the other day that before oil went up to $150 I used to be able to get a box of soap powder for £1.70ish now (if I don't get it on offer) a box of soap powder costs £3.00 - it never went down when oil went down either.
