So, how 'bout those gas prices?

Why is it called a world financial crisis? Petrol/gas prices are coming down, interest rates are coming down and food prices are comng down.

Financial crisis? More like financial harmony!

It's a crisis as many countries are facing an economical recession in the upcoming year. The economy shrinking isn't a good thing as everyon has to tighten one's belts and if a company does that it often ends with personnel being fired.

In Austria gas prices are sinking as well but everyone is upset as the price per barrel oil has dropped by like 50% but the gas prices at a gas station have only dropped by 20% or so. So they are suspecting the oil companies to fill their pockets. I work for one and I can only say the pockets are empty.
