Without wishing to excuse the traders from their share of blame, its worth pointing out that oil is traded in dollars so exchange rate fluctuations not immeadiately obvious to the person in the street can often result in the apparently contradictary situation of falling crude price, with rising or not falling very much, pump prices.

We're probably witnessing the beginning of a total meltdown in the world economies, before long the price of petrol will be the least of your worries.
