Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) Nymex Crude Future 48.85 Dated Brent Spot 46.11 WTI Cushing Spot 49.95 that's the lowest in a few years hopefully we see it at the pump eventually even tho refining oil has doubled in price , but still thats the lowest its been in three and a half years im guessing if it stays like that in about a week price of 91 will be about $1.37-$1.40ish then with more stability about $1.30 Lowest price of petrol in nz is at gull for $1.46 a liter Edited November 20, 2008 by Jamez Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 35 Report post Posted November 20, 2008 Which 25% less than what it was at its peak. Based on inflation, etc, we should probably be paying around the $1.30-odd (IMO), so we're not too far off. Still too high right now though, but on the upside, my driving habits have changed slightly and I'm actually spending less on fuel now than a few years ago when it was $1.30 a litre.

Forrest 35 Report post Posted November 20, 2008 probly wont see much of a change considering the nz $ is at its lowest trading point in 5 years at under 53c...so kinda cancels the effect out sadly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still too high right now though, but on the upside, my driving habits have changed slightly and I'm actually spending less on fuel now than a few years ago when it was $1.30 a litre. My driving habits have changed (2.0L I4 -> 4.4L V8) so I'm spending way more now than I was back then. But I've noticed a trend. I was worried about petrol driving my 2L before labour weekend. Petrol Prices were ++ Stopped worrying, bought a 4.4L V8 to enjoy petrol while it was at this price as I thought if it's going up I'll enjoy it now. Petrol prices -- What have i learnt: Baby don't worry, bout a thing, cos every little thing is gonna be alright Edit: Oops grabbed wrong quote Edited November 20, 2008 by DarkWolf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cale 36 Report post Posted November 20, 2008 Its a significant drop from when in July it was $147 a barrel and its the lowest it has been since mid-2005. The significant drop will probably be due to world demand falling- I read that OPEC are looking to reduce output by 1.5m barrels per day. I'm not complaining, I don't have to pay for food, power etc. only petrol and my demand for it will not be decreasing! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grant 4 Report post Posted November 20, 2008 Well here in the US, petrol is now under US$2 a gallon. My wife filled our 3l Outback up from empty for US$28, and I just filled up my Chevy rental car from 1/8 full for US$18. When I finally get my CA drivers licence and buy a car for me I am going to buy the biggest thirstiest V8 I can. Prices are dropping here up to 0.5c a gallon every day. In the month I have been here prices have gone from around US$3.20 a gallon to the US$1.95 I paid just before. Cheers Grant Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
|ncary 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2008 We buy most of our fuel here from refineries in SouthEast Asia. So the US dollar vs ours has no effect on prices. Might go fill up right now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
