Yeah, it is still more expensive than United though. They only dropped the price because they got called out for price gouging. BP are always more expensive than almost everyone else. Guess they have to pay for the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill somehow.

Oil now at US$43.75, they are almost giving it away.

Time to buy the 300hp outboard that looked unviable 10 years ago.

Oil now looking set to fall below US$40. World stock markets falling, China devaluing its currency presumably because its economy is screwed, and most commodities at lows.

Interesting times!

Rotten stuff if those pump prices aren't falling, the Aussie dollar has been steady around US72-74c for some time.
