Questions about oil prices
What is the difference between Brent and WTI?
Brent is the North Sea crude most of the world's oil is priced against; WTI is the US crude delivered at Cushing, Oklahoma. They usually trade a few dollars apart.
Are these spot or futures prices?
Spot prices at each day's close, the price for oil delivered now.
How much of a litre of petrol is crude?
A barrel holds 159 litres, so crude at $66 a barrel is about 42 cents a litre. The rest of the pump price is tax, refining, transport and the station's margin.
How far back do the prices go?
Brent and WTI go back to 1987, and most products to the late 1980s or 1990s. Every close is kept.
