Well the good news is that the gloomy global economic forecasts are driving down the world oil price.

True to his word George Osborne has been watching the oil companies and their pricing... and I quote ... 'like a hawk' so whereas a month or so ago with oil at 20% more thanit is today the price at my local petrol station was 1.35 a litre it is now..... 1.35 a litre

 

Still paying 1.43 here for V-Power

And its slowly risen over the last month by around 2p

Annoys the hell out of me, when the oil price goes up the petrol price is up straight away. When it goes down it takes more than a month to move and its usually just by a penny !

 

I get the daily updates from the petrol prices website, and although they dont tend to include the Tesco 99 that I use, prices for Super Unleaded seem to have peaked down this way at 138.9 for the last few months, with a slight drop just over a month ago.

 

It's a joke isn't it.
And supply has increased.

8% drop in oil in the few days though.

 

Petrol will never get back to £1 a litre. Every one is used to £1.30+ so no oil company will drop below what they know the public will pay. They are making more money than ever before, and just like the Utility companies, will just state that all these profits will be reinvested.

 

I filled up mine last week and it was 167.9c a litre. Which is dearer than your 143p

 

While all that is true we have a chancellor who promised to not let this happen. Why doesn't someone pul the lying **** up over it?

 

Where do you live ?

The moon ?

 

Or is that in Euros ?

Then it makes sense

F1 being a smart ****, theres a shock

 

Yeah yeah, it's not my fault you can't read!

 

petrol went up 1ppl in our two local garages last week!

 

I have seen diesel at £1.45 a litre in a few places. I'm tempted to buy another old banger an run it on veggie oil at 99p a litre.

 

Pretty sure I corrected myself

sorry if I dont read where someones from before I post

 

No worries, apology accepted

 

 

By that statement then they could keep putting it up and up,we should have a bet as to when it reaches the £2.00 a litre mark.
Owning a car now in this country is just becoming a ball ache,its not just fuel is it that has to be paid for.Insurance who now seem to be jumping on the rip you off train,MOT,Servicing,Tax,Parking Charges,some are only yearly payouts but still.The general wear of parts and the condition of our roads is not helping with that,if its not a pot hole its a road hump.
At the moment i must admit i'm not one of the people who is having to dig deep into pockets to pay for some fuel,but some must be at or getting to the point where they are thinking about can they really afford to keep paying.

 

Main problem is, fuel isnt a 'nice to have' for most people so the public cant just cut back and create pricing wars amongst garages. Fact is, the companies and government have us over a barrell, pants down, and lubed up.

 

TinyTim............surely things have to change then?
People could always switch to a more local job where they don't need a car.

The country still worked before we had cars. So why do we need them so much now?
Cos we are all lazy, and because we can.
The way to drop petrol prices is to remove the demand.

 

Never happen though will it. As you say, people at too lazy and set in their ways.

 

Yes it is you ****

 

Like the right of them he is a politician...which is after all a synomym for a lying dick!

 

These kinda threads are on every car forum on the web, ppl complaining and "lets make a stand" etc etc truth we cant unless no-one goes to work next week then they might listen, but then they will have get the lost money back, so it will probably go up! Dont get me wrong im 1 of the ppl complaining and doin EFF all about it lol but there doesnt seem to be a resonable/simple solution? I guess we just have to STFU and take the *** raping like men lol

 

V power is 150.9 by me

But 6 pence a litre cheaper 8 miles up the road

 

Tesco currently doing 15p off a litre! ok you have to buy coffee, poo roll n cat food. WTF do I want cart food for?
