I've never seen petrol prices below a dollar a litre.

That's expensive.
We use gallons here. There are 3.785 liters in one gallon. When
I was just a wee child, petrol (or gas, as we call it here) was
around $1.20 a gallon. Then it rose to around $2.40 about five
years later. Three or four years ago, the prices were tickling
$3.00 a gallon, and then it got up to around $3.80 a year or so
later. Just around last winter (summer for you Aussies), the oil
and gas business went down, and with it, the gas prices fell.
Now it's around $2.40 again.
Whenever I go out to Kansas, the prices are anywhere from $0.40
to $0.80 cheaper.

There's been a cut in oil prices lately. Something about too
much production (?).
Here it's about a dollar for a litre of petrol.

They had a lot of workers in the oil fields. They were producing
a lot of oil and gas and everything else in that business. They
were actually in desperate need for workers, so the workers were
paid quite handsomely. All of a sudden, the demand dropped.
Workers were laid-off and the prices dropped for us.

Not necessarily. One Australian dollar is only seventy-three
American cents, and it's likely to keep dropping until sometime
next year. A chart, for your stock market-related needs.

In any case, Tux was exaggerating. It's not at all uncommon to
see petrol prices below a dollar.

Where you live. I've never seen it. Unless your talking about
auto gas which hovers over 60 cents.

Quiet! You're not supposed to let the Americans know that we
have astronomical petrol prices! Go along with it!
More to the point, the second half of my post was a joke. We hit
a six-year-low on petrol prices earlier this year. Ninety-nine
cents, it was. A six-year-low. Ninety-nine cents.
But, hey, we sell lots of uranium.
