As the real price of a barrel of oil is exposed, the Scottish Conservatives have again slammed the SNP for their dishonesty over the issue.
The news comes after one of Saudi Arabia’s top officials said that a barrel of oil is unlikely to hit the peaks that it once enjoyed last year.
Speaking at an energy conference in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia's OPEC governor Mohammed al-Madi said that hitting the $100 to $120-a-barrel mark again would be "difficult".
The price of oil has fallen s...harply over the past year due to weakening demand.
And last Friday, the Brent crude oil price closed at just $55 a barrel, while US oil was at around $46.
The drop in value comes after the SNP quoted a fanciful oil price of $113 a barrel during the referendum campaign.
On Sunday, the Scottish Conservatives published a report highlighting the Scottish Government’s manipulation of oil forecasts.
The SNP predicted that a separate Scotland could be able to generate £10.7 billion in 2016/17 from oil tax receipts.
However, this was vastly exaggerated as the independent Office for Budget Responsibility has said the revenues could be as low as £600 million that year.
Only a vote for the Conservative and Unionist Party can protect Argyll and Bute from the SNP’s disastrous fairy tale economics.
