The True Cost Of Petrol

Oil is a crucial factor in the price of petrol. With Brent crude at an 18-month high of about $87 (£56) a barrel, rises in the wholesale price of fuel have produced steady petrol price increases since the beginning of the year.

Having said that, the price of oil is a far cry from its peak of $147 reached in July 2008 – some 69% higher than today.

That spike was driven by soaring demand from China and other developing nations, dwindling petroleum reserves, increased unrest in the Middle East and greater pressure from oil speculators.

China is still displaying a healthy thirst for oil. This has helped to push Brent crude up by more than $35 (£23 at today’s exchange rate) or 67.6% in the past 12 months, according to figures from investment website Digital Look.

Speculators push up prices

Petrol refining companies and investment banks can push the price of petrol higher through speculation – that is, investing in a commodity to try to influence the price by limiting supply.

With global interest rates at a prolonged low and the stock market rally appearing to have run out of steam, speculators know that investors will be looking for returns from other asset classes such as commodities, including petrol.

Why oil prices are headed for a fall

Blame the weak pound… As oil is priced in dollars, movements in the dollar exchange rate affect the price of oil in other currencies.

If the dollar gets stronger against sterling, anyone using pounds to buy petrol will have to pay more than when the dollar is weak.

When the price of oil was $147 a barrel, £1 bought you $2. Now £1 buys you $1.55. That means to buy the same oil, we need to spend 22.5% more. This difference filters down to what we are charged when filling up.
