As the oil price continues to fall (today it virtually collapsed below $80 a barrel) the stubbornly high price of petrol seems ever less justifiable.
I know there is a time lag but funny how the time lag is very short when oil rises but very long when oil falls !
Oil is now little more than half the price of its peak (at $147 a barrel). In London at least you are doing well to find petrol that has fallen more than 10 % from its peak (currently around the £1.06/£1.07 a litre mark).
It's interesting to note that earlier this year the potential for $200 a barrel oil was discussed. This all seems quite a way off now.
At least one economic reason to be cheerful....
