April Fuel Prices

07 Wednesday May 2008

A new graph showing April’s fuel prices is here …

The figures show that in the last month prices have jumped %1.3 on average for petrol and 3.5% on a month on month calculation this is on top of last month’s 2.9% and 5.4% respectively. If fuel prices are to climb in step with inflation (suggested to be 2.5% p.a.) we should be seeing monthly changes in the order of 0.2%. The question is, how long before this kind of fuel price acceleration is going to trigger inflation in the cost of necessary products such as food.

Initial announcements about Elvis Costello’s latest album Momofuku was that it would only available as vinyl or download – no CD. As I blogged here, it seemed a strange decision given Elvis’ fanbase. Either this was a marketing ploy, which is based on column inches generated was successful, or Lost Highway have had a change of heart as the album will be made available on CD, as can be seen by the Amazon listing here.
