this then gives people the false sense that everything is fine and we can go on using petrol forever, so therefore people buy those big 4WD's that will use more fuel down the track and the government isnt under any pressure to do anything about it.



however im happy to see this drop in fuel prices as im broke enough as it is!

I think the reason is that demand has fallen and middle east tensions easing.
