Falling fuel prices are the result of declining crude oil quotations on the exchanges. Just a few days ago, a barrel cost as much as 130 dollars. The price has now fallen to 99 dollars. The US dollar has also become cheaper: on March 7, it cost PLN 4.57, while today its price has fallen to PLN 4.29.
