Oil prices are coming down because of the global economic crisis but it is likely to be several months before there is any impact on the cost of fuel. That is because the energy companies said they held off passing on the hike in wholesale prices to customers. By the same token, they say it will take time to pass on the benefit of falling prices on grounds that they need to provide stability within their business. This spells cold comfort for Scottish households this winter, particularly if the weather is to be harsh.
