Petrol 96.9 & Diesel 99.9

[Welshbeef]

Just seen a top gear episode the caravan one where they set it on fire. Noticed the forecourt price a Texaco.

So that was 2008? Any better guesses
Also price has increased by 50% in the short period of time. Bloody hell

I think around 2006.

Don't ask why I know that.

Where do you live that diesel is two pounds a litre?!?

I think doogz had just had a moment!

2008/2009 is probably about right, this was July 2009:

Doubled has it?

Not where i live!

He said increased by 50%, that does not mean doubled. Increased by 100% = doubled

I don't think so.

I do. If something has gone up fifty percent, it doesn't mean it has doubled.

1 pound, gone up fifty percent, is 1 pound and fiddy pence.

Ah, so it was the OP that doesn't understand percentages then

Slightly aside, but I remember petrol hit 82.9p per litre in my local garage just before the fuel protests in mid-2000

I think you are probably about right with your guess of 2008, it would either have been late 2008 or early 2009. May 2009 was the last time petrol was 99.9 round here so that was probably a few months earlier.

It was July 2006
