The Neilston Gas Station Offering Locals Low

John Robb of John Robb & Son in Neilston, East Renfrewshire, is offering unleaded gasoline for 168.9 pence per liter and diesel for 183.9 pence per liter, which are among the lowest prices in the region. He claims that his company is doing so to alleviate locals' concerns about poverty.

Major retailers have been criticized for failing to pass on a decrease in wholesale prices to consumers. According to the RAC, average gasoline pump prices decreased by nearly 9p in July to 182.69p per litre, while diesel prices decreased by nearly 7p to 192.38p per litre.

However, the motoring lobby contends that motorists continue to spend too much at the pump in comparison to wholesale costs, which have decreased by 20p over the past eight weeks. It is stated that the price of gasoline should be approximately 167 pence per liter. Mr. Robb quickly lowered his gasoline and diesel pricing to reflect the most recent weekly wholesale cost.

When asked why he did not delay price cuts like other larger companies, the business owner told BBC Scotland, "We're in a tiny community, and that reflects poorly on you."

We are here permanently. We're not here for a quick buck. "We're here to assist the community just as much as they support me."

He claims that the gas station, which has been in his family for four generations, is not making any money from fuel sales, adding, "It's a break-even operation at the moment."

The plan does have rewards, as the Neilston company has seen an increase in the number of clients visiting its workshop. Mr. Robb stated, "It generates significant revenue." "You usually know because the first individuals to arrive are taxi drivers. Therefore, they must broadcast it over radio.

The presence of several taxis is always an indication of a competitive market.

In a neighborhood that is struggling with a high cost of living, lower costs are appreciated. "People are not shy about expressing their opinions about prices," Mr. Robb stated.

He continued, "Most of the conversation is humorous, but you can sense the fear and concern on their faces, as fueling a car with gas is a significant price these days."

The proprietor of a firm in Neilston suggested that forecourt managers' reluctance to reduce pricing may have been due to marginal profits. "Over the years, we've all been operating on a razor-thin margin, and it's possible that some individuals are attempting to recoup their losses," he said.

"This is not a business you should enter. We are currently a four-generation enterprise. It has always existed, and we will continue as long as we can meet our expenses. It could not support a living. It is a no-return venture. This is why there are so few remaining sites."

Investors weigh the outlooks for rates and the economy as the dollar edges up.

The Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England will all be making significant policy decisions next week. Investors and traders want to know if inflation has peaked, which would give policymakers room to raise interest rates more gradually in the coming months. The Fed's policy meeting on December 14 is also important because it will come one day before the next monthly report on consumer inflation in the United States is due on December 15. "Until we have those central bank meetings and one significant monthly U.S. data release, not a great deal is occurring," RBC currency analyst Adam Cole said. "U.S. CPI is the one data release that seems to really matter for broader dollar movement at the moment." When compared to other major currencies, the dollar held constant. The last known value of the euro in US dollars was $1.0507, while the pound dropped 0.3% to $1.2171. The Japanese currency, which is quite sensitive to changes in the yield ...

North Korean hackers are using almost 500 phishing domains to steal NFTs.

The hackers made fake websites that looked like NFT projects, NFT marketplaces, and even a DeFi platform. Hackers with ties to North Korea's Lazarus Group are said to be behind a massive phishing campaign that targets investors in nonfungible tokens (NFTs). The campaign uses nearly 500 phishing domains to trick people into giving away their personal information. SlowMist, a blockchain security company, released a report on December 24 that showed the methods that North Korean Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups have used to trick NFT investors out of their NFTs. These methods include putting up fake websites that look like different platforms and projects related to NFTs. Some of these fake websites include one that pretends to be a World Cup project and others that try to look like popular NFT marketplaces like OpenSea, X2Y2, and Rarible. SlowMist said that one of the methods was for these fake websites to offer "malicious mints," which trick the victims into thinkin...
