    Re: Petrol (unleaded) now sub £1

    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?

    Re: Petrol (unleaded) now sub £1

    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.

    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

    Makes up for the lack of everything else then!

    It should be 99.9p at all Asda & Morrisons come the weekend. I guess it takes time to filter through the network...maybe

    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!!

    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!

    Funny people celebrating fuel at a quid a litre

    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

    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
