Yeh looks like you need to install a pc app to do the Android one too. Not really keen on thaylt, probably bloated with spyware. Tried one and there is a lot of dicking around.

Mate there is telling me the media has gone bananas on cost of living. Its all they talk about 24/7. There are reports large households are now having to use residual heat from microwaves to heat their homes (its still relatively warm there). All overdone in his opinion. Media reporting food prices have doubled, yet food inflation is "only" 14%. For general commuting, I see fuel cost as less of an issue for them there, as they can get from anywhere to anywhere with a bus and/or train in a reasonable amount of time.

U.S crude prices still hanging around sub $90 p/b which is great.
91 at least is averaging $1.90 lately. |

My area has come down to $1.7x for 91. Surprised. Thought we'd see a steady rise to $3 once the excise cuts had finished.

President Biden has suggested that OPEC (Saudi Arabia) should increase production with the onset of northern winter, which may just bring world fuel prices down ! Only a couple of months ago OPEC + met and agreed to reduce production in order to increase profits. (incidentally OPEC+ includes Russia). Saudi Aramco of course, now listed on the world stock exchange, operates the largest refinery in Texas. Why do we worry, it's all under control. What ever ? meanwhile massive oil reserves in some unfriendly countries (Iran, Venezuela, some African countries etc.) are accessed only under severe trade embargoes.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The Biden administration asked Saudi Arabia, the de-facto leader of oil producer group OPEC, to delay its decision on oil output by a month, the kingdom said in a statement. The Saudis declined, and in early October OPEC+ — which includes non-OPEC oil exporters like Russia — announced its largest supply cut since 2020, to the tune of 2 million barrels per day starting from November. |

Protests and Covid zero lockdowns in China means less demand for U.S crude staying under $85 p/b for both.
Hopefully stays that way for Xmas and holidays. |

Encouraging signs for our prices but the disparity between ULP and Diesel prices is just criminal

They are also now allowing companies to ship, insure and handle seaborne Russian oil, as long as it is under $60 p/b. Assuming the Russians agree, which they have said they won't, how does that drive down the price of oil for us? And if the Russians refuse to take that price, and keep selling it at a price that is still a discount to other oil sources, how is that going to keep our oil prices down?

WTI & Brent both back to sub $80 p/b like they were Dec last year.
From memory that means 91 should be around $1.50-60 p/l. |

funny how when there is an increase in barrel price, the fuel prices go up immediately. Any time there is a saving it takes weeks for any thing to be passed down and even then, its not the full saving either.

If just saying you wish to cap Russian oil at $60 can bring Brent and WTI to sub $80.....just imagine what wishing capping Russian oil to $20 can do
