Scroll down this link to see how 'day ahead' gas prices are back to last year's level.

No idea why the media are not all over this.

Was a bit of a rhetorical question really - the media seem to want to drag our great nation down at every opportunity.

Also IMF is forecasting our GDP to be stronger than the mighty German economy next year. No shouting about that either. Oh no - we'd rather talk about a minor no harm done email transgression.

Best stop there #politics

Oil prices back to prices from Feb this year, Gas down.

I came back from France recently and paid €1.51 which works out at about £1.31 a litre of unleaded. Still £1.71 at garages near me.

It'll come back down when the companies have clawed back their lost profits.

What’s the % duty/vat/tax whatever on fuel in France?

I think there is a government rebate on the litre price of circa €0.30 at the moment.

I'm only going by Google but he French govt put a rebate on fuel prices early in the year of €0.16 and increased it in September to €0.30, I think it gets reduced.or removed in November.

I didn't know any of this when I posted the price I paid and only found out when I tried to find out the tax duties, which I still haven't found...

I'm in the States at the moment. I've seen two lengthy news articles covering the European gas prices. Basically all European gas storage is 90%+ full and as a result gas prices are tumbling.

Our bills won't drop until the stored gas has been used.

In september the standing charges accounted for just under 40% of my bill.

It isn't really even about "wanting to drag our great nation down", it is much more generally about bad things being more newsworthy than good things.

But it does have an effect on the mental health of the nation, it's like being told you are useless every day, eventually it'll start to make you question if you really are, I know that's extreme, but I've completely disengaged with the news wherever I can because there's no point in listening to it. Everybody lies, nobody gives a straight answer, they're all in it for what they can get out of it, or that's just the way it seems to me.

But I'm with @jowwy on this, my combined energy is about <£3 a day, of which 1/3 is standing charge.
