Price of gas update...

Re: Price of gas update...
Noticed 2.50 at HEB on the way out this morning. By this afternoon it was 2.44
Bananas still at 49cents/lb though.....its always the oil companies getting criticized for not bringing the pump price down when crude falls, but the talking heads have been going on about a cheaper shopping basket for a while now, but not seeing it here.....

I just don't agree with that sentiment here in the US. I never saw such huge falls in the price of petrol until I moved to the US. The UK price hardly moves when crude falls. The same I really don't think can be said of the US (at least in MA).

The largest part of the price in the UK is tax, so a drop in the price of crude barely affects the overall price.

There is still a massive range of prices at the petrol stations along the road I take into work.
Starting at the cheapest end (by work) it goes from $2.89, up to $2.99 a mile farther west, then finally it's still $3.29 in the one station just outside of my town. Then when you go past that my house and into the town centre, it's down to the $2.93/$2.97 range again.
Quite a variation.

But it has hit the Eurozone much harder, and Japan and Russia harder still where their currencies have dropped like a rock in recent months.
