Ktglfc Hypersonic October 18, 2014 Share October 18, 2014 You got blain problem or no? The price of petrol in this unique country IS NOT DUE DIRECTLY TO THE PRICE OF CRUDE OIL!!! This is ONLY one of the price determinants. (Sorry, I quote the oil companies only) Hahahaha :))) That's true, and all drivers already knew Oil can drop like mad, but petrol gone down by 2 cents at most niah; and when oil price go up by a few dollars, petrol just shoot up 5 cents ... CASE? Give up on them, cos they are powerless to counter these big oil companies who are "anchorage tenants" in our oil island Pulau Bukom... Only winners are these companies ... Well, with hope, let's hope they can still drop a bit in this coming week :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldbug 6th Gear October 19, 2014 Author Share October 19, 2014 this is exactly what happened during the cold war. super low fuel prices to kill USSR. you know your history very well Oil price drop threatens to hit Russia, Iran harder than sanctions - LA Times A two-thirds plunge in oil prices in the mid-1980s battered the government of the Soviet Union and contributed to its collapse in 1991. A fragile period of democracy was followed by the rise of Putin's more autocratic Russia in the late 2000s, powered in large part by the rise in energy prices.

Vega Turbocharged October 19, 2014 Share October 19, 2014 you know your history very well Oil price drop threatens to hit Russia, Iran harder than sanctions - LA Times the other method the US used to collapse USSR beside using oil price is the "star war" project by then president Regan. USSR took it so seriously that they spend a lot on developing weapons on how to counter star war......ended up bankrupting themselves....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldbug 6th Gear October 20, 2014 Author Share October 20, 2014 US.....always playing the economics wildcard with its opponents and allies eventhough they are actually bankrupt! they have cycles of expanding and contracting the money supply.... when they dropped the gold standard in 1971, the money supply was expanded (started in 1965 when LBJ was printing more money to finance the Vietnam war than there were available gold) Kissinger tried to anchor the USD by convincing the Saud family to price oil in USD that didn't work... French and Germans insisted on paying for oil in their own currency finally appointed Paul Volcker to be Fed chairman in 1979 and and he raised interest rates to 20% to stabilized the dollar (contracting the money supply) The Saudi probably have long term incentives to bring down oil prices to prevent or slow down the development of more oil shales gas and oil around the world that could precipitate a collapse in oil prices in another 10 years? Looks what years of high oil prices have done to oil supplies? Why is pump prices not coming down yet? I think sooner, they want to collapse oil price in the next 12 months I like the world you live in, full of cotton candy and simple ABC equations and relationships.
