Petrol prices coming down at last!
I think it was Tesco today who announced that they are dropping the price of petrol by 3p a litre. Lets hope the others follow eh!

In Holland we have already some 10% lower prices compared to 2 month ago! Always see the positive side of the recession!

So are Share Prices
House Prices
and a lot of other things.
Bad times ahead for the next 3-5 years at least.
All down to those greedy bastards in the finance system
But... Wahey!!... Its Friday and the weather is supposed to be relatively dry for the weekend.
Time for a Blat in the car to cheer myself up.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

It's the same old story - even if the price of crude oil was 0p we would still be paying through the nose for petrol because most of the current
price is tax, set by the government and nothing to do with the producers/refiners/retailers
(N.B. I do not work for anybody to do with the oil/petrol trade  )

As I've heard the oil companies make you believe that they do not have enough capacity and the refineries are bad maintennance condition. In
order to put this right, they need to raise the fuel prices. On top of that, the crude oil prices were rising (Bush did a good job for himself, and
was helped by the tropical storms).
Now the oil prices are falling, I bet you will not get what is yours at the petrol station!
The oil companies will keep the prices high, and what can you do about it??
