Fuel is coming down in price, thankfully this sees this continue. Price wise from last year, IIRC its the same now. Great

Shame the price at the pump doesn't reflect the drop in oil

Boilerjuice keep sending me emails, insisting NOW is the time to buy with record low prices - think I'll hold off until August.
Domestic heating oil was 64p in April and is now 52p.

Every time I hear about oil prices shifting I remember an old Giles cartoon that was in the paper about the time of the 1973 Oil crisis, always makes me smile. It was a wonderful sketch picture of an Arab in a huge gas guzzler convertible tearing along a desert highway, passing a road sign saying 'World Oil Crisis - Min Speed 140mph'
I have never seen that cartoon ever again - but for that day in the paper. Strange how momentary things stay with you for life! If anyone has this cartoon in an old Giles annual of the era 1973 and fancies scanning it for me I would love to bag a copy of it, just for old times sake. S |

That said, as I understand it total tax revenues from motor fuels have been lower than anticipated so far this year as we haven't been buying so much of the stuff. Maybe that's due to the high price
