Fuel pricing myths debunked

»

Today Online said:

Reading “Fuel oil prices are falling, so why are tariffs still high?” (Dec 10) drives me somewhat nuts. I can’t help it because I’m in the industry and I understand how the electricity tariffs work.

Er. Her explanation wasn't very in depth also. Actually its quite a crap article. The only thing I learnt was that she wasn't getting extra for her bonus.

Well the prices have gone back down and everyone has quietened, so why is she (whether complaining about the price hike or complaining abt the ppl who are complaning about the price hike) still kicking up a fuss?

What talk her?

Which part of the article actually went about debunking fuel pricing myths? All I got from it was some fucktard ranting about not getting her bonus. This is by far the dumbest blog entry of 2008. So Mrs Budak didn't her get bonus, the utility companies must be going out of business.

The graph provided by the .. uh, Energy something government entity is interesting. Someone should compare the tariff prices with oil prices to see how they correlate.

We get our power from Natural Gas so the correlation won't be that great.

And futures contacts are used to hedge fuel costs, so there can be considerable lags in price adjustments.
