    It seems that the price per barrel of oil is coming down.

    Do you think the government here, will put pressure on the oil companies to pass on the reduction to us consumers. they were pretty quick to ramp the price up .

    I think it has crept down by a few cent per litre over the past 3 months.

    It think that the price if crude oil makes up such a small portion I the price of a litre of fuel at the pumps that well see no meaningful drop.

    I have a tank for white but it's empty last three years. Hard to justify all that money tied up in diesel especially when it could disappear overnight!

    The fall in the price per barel which is priced in dollars is exaggerated for us euro people as the dollar has strengthened against the euro offsetting much of the barel price fall.

    Saying that the price should fall more than it has.

    We have our diesel tank in a locked shed, in a corner not visible from the shed windows so the dirty runts can't see it

    I think it was some lad from the AA was on the radio the other day and said that the there's so much tax on fuel that the government take a lot more than the oil companies so the drop at the pumps is actually about right.
    I can't remember the figures but the government get more than the oil companies and the oil companies actually supply something for the money.
