Oil prices fell to their lowest level in 20 months on Tuesday, as weak economic growth continued to reduce consumption around the world. Crude oil futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange settled at $59.33 a barrel, down 5%. Prices have plummeted since hitting a peak of $145.29 a barrel in July.

    Hi Administrator,

    Thank you for the very nice historical charts. Cool stuff.

    I am sure members would agree with this wish list:
    1. Could we have a larger chart? &
    2. 24mths data is great. If you have a 36 mth data, it would be better.

    Crude oil has gone down to Nov 2005 level.
    From the chart, we could anticipate that petrol price will have to fall by another 10c soon eg $1.59 for 95 octane

    What are we waiting for ? To be ripped off further by our oligopolistic oil companies ? They are quite to raise prices at every available opportunities when crude oil prices were rising. Up S$0.10 each time but down a pitiful 3 or 4 cents.

    Singapore consumers are realy taken for a ride. Are we a bunch of idiots ?

  12. noddy Says:

    Is it possible to show the historical chart of wholesale international petrol prices here? Show that against our historical pump prices in SG.That will be more meaningful when it comes to seeing if the petrol companies here are taking us for a ride. They always claim that petrol lag crude oil prices.
