[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 656170, member: 4386"] It is not a case of "making excuses" for oil companies, it is a case of quoting correct figures rather than media hype. For example BP: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1667512313241.png"]5627[/ATTACH] which is a bit different to 300-400% higher. So one needs to also look at other reasons why fuel costs more at the pump etc (the cost of oil companies buying from Saudi Arabia, excise? increased transport costs). Aren't you paying 52 p per litre excise in the UK for unleaded? Your price per litre in p is nearly the same as ours in cents, despite our currency being worth half as much. There is also a lag time between oil prices dropping and prices at the pump dropping, related to transport and refining. Crude oil prices have been in decline since March. Propane has shot up because someone blew up the gas pipeline and because Europe is no longer buying Russian gas, which was a major supplier. [ATTACH type="full"]5628[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
