oil price dropping

Noticed that - if its only $80 a barrel then why the hell isn't petrol under a pound a litre again?
I'd doubt very much it'll EVER be under a pound/litre regularly again. The oil companies/government obviously now know we're willing to pay whatever we're charged, so they're unlikely to let it drop again

Dont worry the budget is just around the corner to **** everything up again, looks like its time to watch Gordon Brown kill his chances of being re-elected

Down to 95p/litre as of today @ asda

Its a bloody expensive joke.

Think less in terms of pence per litre and more in terms of pence per mile. Last I checked I was averaging 49.8 mpg, which at the time was about 9.8p/mile ... if you're not getting higher mpg and less pence per mile I'll be surprised ...
I'm at around 14P a mile at 92.9p a litre

No the price of diesel and petrol should not have a 14p gap - regardless of mpg, I shouldn't be forced to pay more for fuel because my car is possibly economical than other cars (plus my re-map and driving style on the motorway when I am late for work don't really give me great mpg).
There was never that big a gap in the two fuel types a few years ago, its a joke.

The joys of a captive market
You want/need their product. They'll charge what they feel like for it. Add duty and lifes a bitch!
In good news, I've seen petrol as 'low' as 91.9p a litre in Peterhead (Morrisons) Not sure if they set their prices nationwide but keep an eye out anyway
i bought petrol at shell for 91.9p 4 nights ago, i've heard that theres a petrol station selling it for 90.9p somewhere nearby though, so maybe the drop in prices is continuing for a bit yet anyway
It's 88.9 at the local Asda

yup, 85.9p in dundee,i know of 3 stations charging that, but theres still a station out by the ferry that my mate filled up at the other day, no prices on the forecourt, probably because they are charging 93.9 p a litre!!

Think the cheapest I've seen up here is still 88.9p but then I'm not looking around so much now!
