| 719926 | 2008-11-12 23:34:00 | www.stuff.co.nz Shell says dropping global demand for crude oil is flowing through to decreases in the cost of the refined product. Eh? I smell BS here. How does a decrease in demand make the cost of production cheaper? They're covering up that they made it expensive just because they could, I guess. |

| 719928 | 2008-11-12 23:42:00 | It doesn't make production cheaper - they never claimed that. Think of it this way: if you're baking a cake, and the price of ingredients drops, your cake is obviously going to be cheaper. The same thing is happening here. |
