All The Things That Cost More Than A Barrel Of Crude Oil… Including A Barrel (VIDEO)

Must read

Not everyone agreed with the RAC when it said that petrol could become cheaper than bottled water.

RAC wagered that if the price of oil slid below $20 barrel, it could push petrol prices to 90p a litre – while a fall to $10 a barrel or less could see petrol sold at 86p a litre, or cheaper than a bottle of water.

Falling oil prices probably won’t do much to the price of pizza and beer, sadly. But it might benefit drivers – just as long as savings get passed on at the pump.

RAC said that there was scope for retailers to cut prices by another 5p on the average price of diesel.

“We are concerned that too few drivers are benefitting from these incredibly low oil prices as many less competitive retailers are still selling fuel at far nearer to £1.10 a litre than £1,” said Simon Williams, RAC spokesman.
