Great news – Petrol price expected to decrease

The AA has stated that it expects the petrol price to decrease in November.

“Fuel prices have moderated during October, with the prospect of some relief for petrol users, although users of diesel and illuminating paraffin will have to cough up more,” said the AA.

Yep, drop by 16c, but raise it again two weeks later with 75c a liter.

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

Keep the 16c, keep it the same and cut it when it really makes any difference.

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

The expected changes are:

• Petrol – set to drop by 16 cents a litre.
• Diesel and illuminating paraffin – both set to increase by about 30 cents a litre.

He is right, but it has nothing to do with out holidays being in December.

December Europe is in the middle of winter. Gas and Oil demand is highest then and unfortunately with that, oil prices increase, we get raped . All depending on supply and demand. Europe uses less, we pay less.

While my stats are a bit old, that wasn't the case in 2015, I'll redo them sometime maybe.

EDIT: And diesel might be different, since that is more likely to be used for heating and such.

He's not right. And if the oil price increased due to increase in demand, we would have had price increases accordingly, which we didn't...

Really?

New and updated. So since 2005 is has increased less than 50% of the time. Doesn’t sound like usual to me. But yes, one can play around time period and change that %.

Thanks for finding an updated one I forgot I did.

Little more complicated than I try and make it sound, but demand and supply regulates the prices. In essence if more barrels are produced than there is a demand for the price decreases to get rid of the excess barrels. If there is a bigger demand than the barrels available, the price increases.

It's normal economics. Didn't think I need to explain it more in depth. Want me to go more into detail for you?

But... I thought it was the ANCs fault? Also: do we move back from Perth now? I are confuse...

 

[Traq]

Seems like food prices will be going up some more. So any "saving" in petrol price is just going into the food prices rising due to diesel going up.

Dafuq do food prices never come down in line with fuel prices. Serious question.
