Motorists will be feeling a sense of relief with stability in the global market and local retail prices falling. Subject to crude and Singapore spot prices over the next week we may see some of the lowest petrol prices on average that we have seen in quite some time. The good news is, motorists will be able to take advantage in filling up which is a great reprieve!
