New Delhi: With Brent crude prices easing-off five-week highs today, the oil marketing firms have got a breather as well as a hope of strong gains. The speculations were high about petrol, and diesel price hikes following OPEC's announcement of a production cut and the European Union's embargo on Russian oil. Brent crude futures fell 81 cents to $97.11 a barrel today while West Texas Intermediate crude was trading at $91.88 a barrel, lower by 76 cents.
