You can tell it's the end of summer can't you? Not by the change in the leaves or the loss of those sunny days because there were none of any significance.
You guessed it, the fuel prices are now plumiting, because the oil barrons can't sell enough now.
We might be in a world recession, but that should not disguise the fact that there has bee a near 30% drop in pump prices. We are now looking at 89.9p a litre. Now while I and every other driver will welcome this with open arms, one does have to wonder if the summertime prices were artificially pumped up to see just how much the public would actually pay for fuel.
How long can we expect to enjoy lower fuel prices, not for long I wager. By my reckoning, you can expect a 3p rise the week before christmas and then 2p between then and new year before it will magically drop back to the 89p it january.
Sorry for sounding so scynical but, do the petrol retailers realy think us motorists are so nieve!!
It is about time that Gordon and his croney's got serious with the billion pound profitering oil companies and forced them to price the fuel on an annual average price structure, rather than causing panic within the economy by reacting to daily blips.
There is far too much panic reacting going on and far too much "talking us into disasters".
Of coarse the great british public did nothing but grumble discontent. What ever happened to the Great British Bull Dog Spirit of the Winston Churchill era?
