    Fuel price per barrel

    It dropped to $US128 last night. That's $US18 in 2 days.

    Where's my price reduction bitch and when will cheese go back to $7/kg?

    Bitch.

    It's relative. The less the oil cost when petrol prices are high, the more profit the thieving scumbag fuel retailers make! To offset all the drive-offs of course...

    Col, fuel retailers make almost nothing on a litre of gas. It's in the 1-2c /litre range. They make money on chocolate bars and coffee.

    It's the wholesalers in collusion with the Government that artificially inflate the price.

    oil is ordered for an agreed price weeks or even months before it arrives....
    So when oil prices go up, they should not affect the pump prices straight away anyway.
    Oilcompanies just do the "up" thing straight away to "future proof", but are very reluctant to go down and reduce profit, because they paid for the oil weeks ago anyway.....

    Stand outside the BP naked, handcuff yourself to the door handle, and say that you're never fueling up again until the prices lower. Good luck persuading the boss for getting the day off work though.

    That sir, is a crock of shit.

    When the price per barrel goes up the pump price goes up. It shouldn't move at all and not all oil exported is traded in that fashion either.

    I was talking to my Jakarta based Brother in Law who works in the oil industry and that is an acknowledged rort that is undertaken globally where Governments don't have the balls to legislate against the practice.

    The Government WON'T legislate against it because they make far too many tax dollars from keeping it (and incidentally the price of food) artificially inflated.

    It appears to me the only crock of shit is your ability to have misread my post completely.....
    I say nothing different from what you come up with...apart from having a brother in law in Jakarta working in oil.....
    (incidently I work in oil to.....in NZ)

    Oh by the way Indonesia subsidises fuel........thats why its cheaper there

    Oil companies are greedy indeed, but that has nothing to do with the government.....(ours is 100x better then Indonesia's anyway)

    I think that there should be a national campaign to name and shame the CEOs of the oil companies here in NZ who put the prices up and down at their own wim.Imagine if you saw one walking down the street.You'd have to line up to spit at his feet.Being anonymous makes it easier to rip off motorists and they haven't got consciences anyway.Fucking mongrel motherless bastards.

    You have had your 4 cent reduction. That is all that the NZ peasants deserve (according to the oil mafia)...

    The roads are nice and empty. The price rise hasn't been entirely bad.
