Caltex and SPC have kicked off another round of petrol price cuts, followed by Shell and Esso. Pump prices for all grades of petrol have gone down by 5 cents per litre on Tuesday [7 Oct 2008]. The latest revision follows a series of petrol price cuts since July this year, following a drop in crude oil prices.
- With the revision, RON92 is now $1.863 per litre, RON95 is $1.896, and RON98 is $1.970. Enjoy these prices while stocks last, and while crude oil searches for a bottom after dropping briefly below $88 earlier on. Watch out for a trend reversal and the next round of reflation as governments everywhere attempt to re-liquidate the cratering markets.
