One of the unexpected benefits of a $90-a-barrel drop in the price of crude oil is a transport sector that has far less to pay for keeping things moving. Now, of course, that savings is predicated on the assumption that there’s actually something out there to move – that manufacturers are still making things, and consumers are still buying.
