Oil has reduced in price over the last short while, what's the chances of the price of petrol coming down as well?





I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Getting back to $1.60 to the £ would have a bigger impact.

    I remember complaining to head office at the delay in paying our expenses when petrol went to Fifty Pence a Gallon. - The pump price has been rising all week so doubt it will drop any time soon.
    Even before we started with the current fiasco when oil rose in price so did fuel. When it dropped back again it stayed high for at least a month.

    That's what I said when petrol passed £1/gallon.  It so so extreme I refused to fill up.  The others won.
