They have revised their predictions to Feb and will keep doing it until they get it right.

Oh please. It's a pattern. It will go up again soon, and 99% says it will pass the current record high.

History clearly hasnt taught you anything.
It always goes down before December and then around feb - march it goes up

At least you dont put a date on it. What about the people that do?

What about them? Its one step forward two steps back, every single year. A very predictable pattern.

Dont preach to me, in fact I am the one who provided stats that it mostly goes down in Dec. I am not the one that said it will go up in Dec or Jan, go preach to them.

It goes down all the time in December , and then when people come back it goes up again.
So not sure what you are arguing about

He's arguing about people saying it will go up in Jan, and here it surprises us and goes DOWN in Jan, as if he told us so.

 

[marine1]

Maybe not jan but probably feb or march

 

[R13...]

Maybe not jan but probably feb or march

It'll probably go up in April (I think that's the month the levies and tax adjustments kick in) but the rest you're simply guessing.

Here are historical figures

Arguing with the people who said "It will go up December, it always goes up for the holiday travel" and also those that say "It went down in Dec, but it will go up in Jan, as always, down an then up"

Who said that?

The point is you can't predict it until actually halfway into a month, and even then it can change, or else if one can predict it like 1.5 months ahead, you must go in oil futures and forex

Who said that?

Here is just the first one I could find:

^ this

fuel price always goes up over December (because of the holiday)....

 

[marine1]
