Breakdown of the price of petroleum fuels

I have just written a small article on the details of the price of a liter of fuel.

If you have any comments or additions to the "Analysis" part, they are welcome!

Here is my first question and question which I have trouble finding the answer to:

The price of crude rose between 98 and 2005 from $ 10 to $ 60, i.e. a 600% increase How can we explain that the price at the pump has only been increased by a few tens of% with us?

Partial explanations: the parity of the dollar has fallen from almost € 1,5 in 98 to around € 0,8 now, ie a drop of nearly 50%. There is 300% "too much" left.

Governments were able to reduce their margins slightly via a decrease in the TIPP but it seems to me that it has been fixed for a while ...

Ideas?


ps: an article on the global taxation of petroleum fuels is also being written.

to be very precise, the liter of GO in February 1998 was 27 Belgian francs against 40 to 41 today.

in fact, the raw material is only a small part: there is the transport, the refining and the taxes and I believe that there is a program contract between the oil companies and the state: the profits are not exactly proportional to the crude price

Go back to "Fossil energies: oil, gas, coal and nuclear electricity (fission and fusion)"
