Get this though I am in the USA now and the cost of fuel has halved overnight to $1.91. pere gallon. We are told the best way out of a recession is to get people spending not to make it impossible to live a normal life, as the cost of fuel is doing for a lot of people, The car industry is laying off workers they cant sell new cars and the cost of road haulage is now a joke. Come on GORDON BROWN and your LITTLE DARLING> CUT THE COST OF FUEL TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO LIVE AND USE THEIR CARS. Let the haulage people get on with the excellent work they do. AND lets get the country moving again. We are sick of being RIPPED OFF>

How much has the price of gas dropped in England? In Kingston, from a high of $1.35 a litre to about 74.5 cents ... which is only reasonable, given the drop in price of a barrel of crude.
