Would be interesting to await any further developments to this thread, it is widely known that oil has been dropping in price and currently sits at just over $100USD per barrell down near $15 from where it was a month ago. Furthermore the price is down approximately $44USD from where it was in July when it peaked close to $145USD per drum. The current one year forecast is at $116USD per barrell.
Now I've no problems with these fuel surcharges because they are pretty much transparent and when booking we can see how much of our fare is Taxes and Surcharges, but with this transparency will no doubt come questions when the prices start to trend downwards as they are doing now (albeit slightly).
Aviation fuel prices are down 7.8% to $131.5USD per barrell on this time last month however it is to be noted that they are up 44% on last year.
Here's a link with a little more info:

Also of note is the price for ULP in Australia, despite these drops there seems to be little relief for motorists...... a shame for the V8 lovers of this country
