Fuel prices

[Rickoshea]

I think we can credit the Saudis and Russians for the drop in oil prices as they started a NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- contest on how to control the world price of oil. Saudi’s answer was to pump as much oil as they could and cause sufficient pain on Russia in the hope this would cause them to see the “wisdom” of the Saudi position. No sooner had they started this contest and the World went into lockdown to fight the latest Chinese virus causing the price of oil to fall off a cliff.

While I am jolly glad that you are happy about the slight reduction in the cost of using your legacy vehicles, it does still seem very expensive to me. For the last 6 weeks my motoring has cost been absolutely nothing as all the sunshine has meant I have sufficient electricity generation from our PV roof to cover all our home electricity needs as well as ensure the car battery is full - if only we could drive it somewhere to fully use on this free energy.
