Transcript

So have you seen So have you seen the news? Finally we could have some good news coming. Let's see. PETROL PRICES COULD FINALLY FALL 👀 I'll take some positive news any day of the week, but essentially, the wholesale oil, oil prices are coming down because there's been some progress in the Middle East at the moment. So we're looking at around 6%. It's been dropping by just looking at my screen there, just to confirm I'm getting the numbers right. Um, but we know the oil prices can move in any direction very quickly, and we see that in the news quite often as well. But if the prices do stay lower, we should be seeing that cheaper at the pump by the end of August. So, like I say, after months of talking about energy, mortgages, food, etcetera, it's really, really nice to be able to actually share some positive news. But there is something that I've always wondered when it comes to petrol prices. So we noticed them going up almost daily. You go past a petrol station and you're like, that's gone up. That's, you know, nothing's really moving. And if it does move, it's a couple of pennies down. SO HOW QUICKLY SHOULD THEY COME DOWN? But how quickly do you think the petrol pump prices should come down? When we see the oil prices fall... Let me know.
