Petrol Prices

[Seventy]

I thought the crude price was still in a downward slump a month ago so, surely, the forecourt prices should still be dropping?

I would have thought the same-oil is forward bought so the crude price today should have no bearing on the pump price today.
I have also noticed prices creeping back up.

Sainsbury is still £103.9 here.....

[Adrian W]

It's creeping back up, in Chelmsford it was hovering around the pound, this week it has risen to £1.04

[techguyone]

It's stuck at 106.9 here for the last month, it doesn't look like it's going down any further (still get a good price with the 18p/litre off from Tesco though)

[ZOLLAR]

Moving up in Swansea now, 105.8 for petrol 111.8 for diesel.

Up two pence on petrol and one pence on Diesel.

I've noticed that in the last week in Chelms. Saw 106.9 at the BP on Broomfield Rd yesterday

[GTDNB]

up 3p to 106.9 at BP on the A21 in Bromley

has oil prices risen again?

just as well as Scotland never went independent we'd be in the gutter by now.

The main reason for the jump here is not really the refinery strike (supervisors are keeping those open), it is the work and expense required to swap from Winter to Summer blend formula. Environmental regulations you see.

You could go further and do much worse, apparently.

2. a range of food of a particular type.
"traditional Scottish fare"


So I take the meaning to be "You may travel far and eat worse"

The reality having eaten there is you would have to go a long way to find worse food.

Its food jim

But not as we know it

We're now at $1.67 for a (US) gallon of regular unleaded, cheapest for 10 years.

Basically 29p per litre. Makes we want to go outside and rev up the Jag just for the hell of it.

Sod.

Prices dropped to a low of 1.33€ for Super+ (anywhere between 98 and 102 RON) but they have been creeping up to around the 1.40€/l since the end of the summer.

They reported on the radio the other day it's due to go down to (hopefully) £1 per litre soon as crude oil has continued to fall and stay low.

[truck71]

Hmm, not sure.

The downside of fuel dropping is overall deflation (given it's direct and indirect use by the consumer), which is really not good for the economy.

Well gas here in the Midwest is at a steady $1.42 a gallon at the moment, bonkers cheap. There have been isolated cases of it hitting $1 but $1.42 is the best I've seen with my own eyes. Lowest prices for more than 10 years.

Average UK price for unleaded seems to be 102p per litre so we're actually paying less for a gallon than you guys are for a litre.

Let the V8's roll!

Was out in Saudi this week, filled up our V8 GMC van, 12p / Ltr not bad at all!!!

Is it cheaper to buy health insurance or expensive petrol?

[wazztie16]

Drove past a petrol station earlier in Nottingham, 98.9p for both petrol and diesel. Shame it's not near my everyday driving and I've got 3/4 of a tank already.

Exactly, plus the lower the price of petrol the less tax revenue, add to this lower production levels in the North Sea so again less tax revenue so don't be surprised that the tax is gained elsewhere so in reality no ones a winner in the long run.
