A little bit, but I don't currently have a car so not too much for me.
I think the lowest price I've seen recently was around 116p/ litre

I wonder if the oil price drops will have any effect on the opinions towards independence in Scotland.
Seems like you guys dodged a bullet even more than previously known.

I've also heard theories it's an attempt to undermine the shale gas exploits and oil sands in N.America, and that exactly how far the price falls (which the person put at below $60 a barrel) would indicate the objective.

I would actually say the conspiracy is directed at Shale Oil more than likely. If you drive the price down low enough it's no longer cost effective to Frack which is a big competitor with OPEC in the international market.

Tesla, water engines, clean-burning fuels.
All of it needs to come so we can kill oil and have a shot at saving our godforsaken planet.
