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.

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.
But not as we know it

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.
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!

Is it cheaper to buy health insurance or expensive petrol? 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.

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.Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
