Yes it was the GEF annual meeting that went on for 4 days. I thought they were more positive than most about the world economy.

Take the tax out of that equation; 57p a litre down to 41p a litre = 28% drop in price. Also consider that the cost of fuel also covers the cost of production (you don't fill your car with crude oil, it's goes through extensive refinement) and also distribution (transport, the cost of running the pumps and garages themselves) both of which are also mostly static, it's not just the raw price of oil. We filled up yesterday for 97.7p/litre. I don't remember fuel being that low ever... I remember the "£1" blockade shenanigans and I was about 12 or 13 maybe so that was at least 17 years ago. I'm sure plenty of you oldies remember it being much cheaper . Gas and Electricity are of course another matter entirely. There's a huge, insidious energy molopoly there that's been going on for years with absolutely obscene profit margins. |

I remember the front page horror of £1 a GALLON. Like I remember the weeks of front page articles and coloured wash drawings of how we would all be wealthy and living in some paradise when North Sea oil was discovered. I can laugh at both now (when I'm not actually crying)
