Why didn’t Joe jump onto a rostrum this time round to announce the international fall in price? One possibility is that his rostums got axed and chopped for firewood, considering the high price of fuel in Malta.

Look at the bright side of having the highest prices for petrol and diesel.

One can save more per hour of not using one’s car then citizens of the other EU countries.

In reply to Pinu Primus.

I am not convinced about the hedging contracts either.

Was there any reference to hedging in the article below? No.

If I remember well, at the time, the prime minister had said that “after months of negotiations and hard work,” his government had secured favourable prices.

I am not so sure that there is a hedging contract. I think there is only a fixed price contract. No idea with whom, though. And covering what period – when does it expire?

I think some questioning in Parliament is necessary.
