A Lift for Lubes?<br />
I<br />
t's mid-February, crude oil costs half of<br />
what it did last summer, and most dri-<br />
vers can pass a service station without<br />
flinching. Even our London cabbie is pretty<br />
mellow; with petrol hovering about GBP<br />
1.09 a liter, there's none of the usual eye-<br />
rolling when he learns we're headed for an<br />
oil industry event.<br />
