Feck about. They'll be giving it away up north soon :crap:
My Dad was telling me yesterday, how someone he knows who works for Shell told him technically, it should be under £1 per litre everywhere already, but the only reason it isn't is because non of the petrol companies want to lower their prices first, as they are waiting for the competitors to do it first. Usually the supermarkets first - Which makes sense, as Asda and Morrisons are now 99.9p :)
Where abouts do you live Mart?

I take it thats good as my main car is a TDI and i have not touched any other pump than black for years.........BUT to my dismay i remember the last time i drove any r5 the needle actually used to move when putting a 10 spot in it. I was shocked the other day when i did that in my 5 and the needle didn't budge if u ask me................SO LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL.......I wonder how low it will go????
Lol, no.. It's just how Tim said "Feck about. They'll be giving it away up north soon", he confused me as I thought you were from down South. :)

104.9 in morrisons up here....must be the east caost North getting it cheap first :laugh:
Shell, Tesco and Waitrose in Southend are at 103.9 so dare i say it that by the weekend it could be sub £1 a litre as we're usually the cheapest around for fuel. I'll be filling the tank right up Saturday morning :cool::)
104.9 in morrisons up here....must be the east caost North getting it cheap first :laugh:
Makes up for the lack of everything else then! :D
It should be 99.9p at all Asda & Morrisons come the weekend. I guess it takes time to filter through the network...maybe ;)

99.9p thats what dreams are made of! 106.9 in the Tesco/shells around my way!
You know what, i'm a mug. Since I started driving, i've never looked at the price of fuel when I fill up, and that's 7 years now. I do when i'm in other people's cars though...
The price in Peterborough is £103.9 which I was delighted about after it being £109.9/£110.9 the last couple of weeks! Hope the 99.9 comes down here soon though!!:)

First post!
the prices in hemel hempstead are still 104.9 , hope fully they will drop here soon, to 99.9
Finally!
At Asda & Morrisons anyway (99.9p per litre).
:)
At least we know what your EVO 6 Weapon uses for jungle juice now :D, Asda is where its at
99.9 for 95 ron at my local tesco garage, 104 for 99 ron, diesel about the same. About time we seen it drop:cool:

£103.9 :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
Thats crazy money
cheapest I see this way is 104.9p but tescos. last time i filled up there car wouldn't run properly for ages, spluttered about. 108.9p for BP petrol which im happy to pay, dont do many miles :) fill up once a month or so.
The price is usually reflected at the pumps at the end of the week no ?
We should be seeing well under a squid in Swindon in the next couple of weeks! :D
99.9 at my local Asda this morning :agree:
you dont drive so how would you know this:p got fuel yesterday from tesco's 1.02 for super unleaded 99 ron:agree:
Funny people celebrating fuel at a quid a litre :homer:
Maybe if it was back at 85p or so given that oil has halved in price...
14 years ago it was 52p a litre and we're overjoyed that it's only double the cost now?! Lol. That's mega inflation.
Just the way life goes Trev - Obviously petrol prices are still ridiculous, and the prices raise faster than inflation, But it's like, a whole 16pence cheaper than it was a couple / few months ago, and it all adds up. Plus I think a lot of the excitement is that it is certainly a move in the right direction.. Hopefully it will keep going down :)
You never know mate :)
Yeah, I'm quids in because the Prelude is thirstier than the GTT. At about 21mpg :scared:

i remember filling the jet bike/ski up years ago and at about 69.0p - £31
now a days at 99,9p - £45 , so a massive difference even at the lower petrol price.
thats a full tank, which at full thottle use to last just over an hour somtimes.
one of the main reasons i dont do watercrafts no more,
petrol for one days fun £200 - £300.
as appose to back in the day £130 - £190
Talk about dropping over night! It's now £100.9 down by 3p in a night!!

aiii, fuel coming down very sharply now LOL
our deliveries at work are costing about 15% cheaper than approx 8 weeks ago.
the supplier said to expect fuel to be in the mid to early 80p bracket by the end of the year :-)
would be even better if diesel dropped as quick as petrol!

Sub 90p a litre has come quicker than expected - Morrisons unleaded now @ 89.9p :cool:
Rock on Mart. Due to continue to drop too, or so it would seem. Sub 85p a litre will be good enough for me.
On the Ross thing.
1. He bought a blower, there was a massive bun fight over it.
2. He got another one, this time from the lad above and was supposedly really happy with it
3. It would seem he then sold it on, I'm guessing as part of further questionable business ventures and thus the fuss was all for nothing
4. He's banned for one month being sporadically abusive to all and sundry, lol.
90.4 at Morrisons in Ayrshire. Queued out the station!

Are you trying to get people to hate you Woz? :laugh:
The exchange has changed again and the pound has got stronger against the Oz dollar which, although the price here has not changed, means the conversion looks even better i.e. 63 pence!!
I think i'll get my coat:ashamed:.
Update (8/12/08).
Asda & Morrisons are at it again... :)
Expect unleaded around the 87p mark come midweek this week, and diesel will, at long last, be sub £1 by tomorrow.

Why is Diesel so much more expensive that petrol.. back about 5 years ago diesel was alot cheaper than petrol.
My car is diesel, i get 45mpg around town... i go through 2 tanks of petrol a week... i hate giving Tesco £100 a week... how much tax is that i am paying to the goverment... these janky roads down here are f*cking ****!! With the amount of money the goverment get from the Fuel Tax the roads should be A* condition!!
Why is Diesel so much more expensive that petrol..
I dont know :D
diesel is 99p/ltr down here now :D
I filled up the 5 with shell v-power at 97.9, I only went to get a tenners worth to get me by, feck that fill her right up :)
unleaded 87.9 up at my end...diesel is 99.9
still not checked v-power prices
hahaha
anyone???

i think diesel is still 104 round here, more so for the top stuff..
put £15 in the 5 the other day and the difference in needle movement was loads compared to the peek of silly pump costs.. my gauge is sensitive on the first 1/2 of its movement, less so for the second 1/2.. i think i was on par for a £35 fill up?? but when it might only do just over 220 miles:crap:
my vans getting me 200miles to £17 of the expensive diesel:)
petrol will drop a little more yet!!! its currently 88.9p/lt here.
diesel is sub £1 a litre now as well.
i havent found any info on opec actually slowing down the release of oil barrels to inflate the price. But then i got a gut feeling even if they did it wouldnt effect the price at the minute.
the economy is now in the hands of the consumer.

Diesel has just come 99.9p round here petrol is as low as 87.9, Tesco & Shell 98/99 ron is 94.9 round our way.

It's getting quite bad now, I even brought a cheap car that does half decent mpg recently just because it was getting so expensive to keep the toys on the road everyday. It's a sad state of affairs. Id be all for a riot over fuel prices, prices have crept up alot in the last 2 years :cry:
Funny people celebrating fuel at a quid a litre :homer:

Bet you wish it was now though eh ;)
Unbelievable price increase in such a short space of time.
We'll be lucky to see sub £1.20 p/l again, let alone sub £1...

98 is anywhere between A$1.45-1.65 (90p-110p) per litre. Yes cheaper than UK but the margin has narrowed hugely. Mainly down to the strong Aussie dollar. :(
Car and car parts are massively cheaper in UK though. :cry:
