Default Oil Prices dropping $4 dollars a day

Ok friday last week oil prices were at a record high of $149 a barrel. The price at the pump went up daily when barrel prices rose.

The past few days due mainly to Saudi Arabia the price has been dropping by $4 dollars a day on average.

The current prices is $133 a barrel.

The Question........

How long until the price at the pump starts falling?

But was the $149 factored into the forecourt price? or were they always expecting them to come back again. To be fair the forecourt price didn't double in the past year like the barrel price did.

Dont think it was far off. Something like 50p for manufacturing costs now? Take 25p off and you have 90ish p per litre.

Well the VAT is a function of the price & I don't think tax ever came down - they just kept putting off tax increases which we were supposed to be grateful for

Yeah the VAT is related to the price but I believe the fuel duty isn't - it's a fixed number of pence per litre. I think you got what I was saying anyway, but essentially if the price of oil doubles, the duty cushions us from its impact. Similarly it will cushion the impact of falls to us though

I think fuel duty is around 50p/litre at the moment so a fair chunk.

I think it's about 3 months. So we're *yet* to feel the spike of the last prices...
