As someone who worked in Oil & Gas, a few years ago when Queen Nicola was trying to make her first power grab the price of a barrel of oil was around 135 dollars for a short period of time & she was banging on about Scotland becoming the richest nation, streets paved with gold etc. I think petrol was around £1/litre. Over the years oil has hit an all time low, about 20 dollars & even some American oil companies were actually paying to get rid of it as there was no storage facilities left. The price at the pumps remained pretty stable. It certainly did not fall to reflect the price of oil. Today its 115dollars so why is the pump price rocketing. America does not need to import it any more due to fracking so there is loads of it swilling around. Mushroom syndrome, (Keep them in the dark & feed them s##t) & profiteering.
