FUEL DROP ON THE CARDS?

Indications are that motorists may finally get a relief from soaring fuel prices as petroleum prices continue to fall on the international market.

In the United States of America prices has fallen for 35 straight days with oil price now at around $95 per barrel, down from the record price of $110. Authorities have cited low domestic demand as the driving force behind the drop. US president, Joe Biden, recently called on oil companies to pass on the benefit of the price drop to consumers, pointing out that traders were quick to raise prices when Russia invaded Ukraine but are slow in reducing pump prices nos that the oil price is falling.

In neighboring South Africa, the Automobile Association has predicted a reduction of around 90c a litre on both petrol and diesel.

Locally, it's not clear if the public if and when the public should expect a relief as the Botswana Energy Regulatory Authority announces rises and drops in pump prices on the very day they take effect.

Things are about to get ugly folks with petrol prices. The price of petroleum has crossed the $100 per barrel mark. Ukraine may seem far but we're affected by the conflict unfolding there.
