Dont moan, your bloody lucky at that price. Im paying 116.9 for super unleaded 97 ron.
Im still waiting for my local petrol station to put its prices down. They where quick to put them up, but not down.
Thats the problem with franchised Esso stations, They set a minimal price then the owner wacks his cut on it.

Whinge, whinge, whinge....I'm paying 1.48 per litre mate.......er, hang on, that's AU$1.48.

That works out to about 65p a litre. Mind you, it was $1.15 a year ago..

Your location says Cambs. Fill up in Peterborough, it's been 113.9 for a couple of weeks (and 111.9 for Tesco99).

Interesting how the price of oil has dropped considerably yet we are still being stiched up at the pumps. It will never be below a £1 a litre again now.

Still the government is making the right noises and putting pressure on the oil
companies...NOT!!!
