Oil falls below $100 a barrel!

mobby · 2008-09-09 21:04:27

I know this has been done to death, but I see oil has fallen to under $99 a barrell http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7605584.stm yet I still see prices of €1.34 for diesel how is this let go on? Oil companies are getting away with daylight robbery and no one seems to give a dam. Rant over, do I fell any better, NO.

*yawn* this has been done to death. Most petrol stations make the square root of FA on fuel. In fact many are kept going by the shop where they can make more generous margins.
I know this for a fact my friend runs one.

If there was really so much profit being made on petrol why are all the forecourts closing?

If you hate the country so much just leave. We have enough whingers! I think you might be if for a shock how expensive fuel is other countries, we are on the cheaper end of the scale.:D

We are in the cheaper end of a scale for fuel, yes. But the cost of insurance and car tax quickly fills up the gap of the price of fuel.
