decrease? increase?

i was eating some duku when buletin utama started and on hearing something about oil prices-assuming that oil price will rise again - i eagerly rush to my living room to watch the news. fortunately, it's not what i've assumed. they were talking about the cut of 50% in road tax for cars below 1000cc (i guess) and motorcycles (i don't remember which cc). and the government also confirmed that the toll won't rise until next year. all of these was because of the rise in oil prices recently, which widely effect the prices of other goods as well. well, i guess it's some kind of good news, but as one respondent said on the news, it would be much greater if the insurance was cut 50% rather than the road tax, and one respondant even suggested that the government diminish the road tax all along to ease the road consumer who had to pay for the oil and toll as well. good news or not, there will surely be another rise in oil prices and the toll, even not in the near future.
