Petrol Prices

I don't know what it's like where anyone else lives, but the price of petrol hasn't half fallen around here.

It was around £1.23 per ltr a few weeks back, and now is only £1.02 at Asda.

What's it like where you are?

Re: Petrol Prices

My car was serviced and MoTd exactly a month ago today, since then I have driven around 40 miles. That next day the tank was also filled as fuel prices had come down. The last time I looked at fuel prices, a few days' ago, it was £1.08 a litre. Very different from the £1.22 previously, all due to supply and demand I guess. Plus there was a reduction by Saudi Arabia in the price of a barrel of oil, something to do with a 'price war' somewhere or other. Usual old story!

With lack of using our cars I reckon there will probably be problems with flat batteries in the future. The breakdown services are going to be kept very busy!

Re: Petrol Prices

I'm always the one one to miss out. I filled up just before all this started.

Re: Petrol Prices

Tesco and Sainsbury are both £1.02 but they are opposite each other.
I guess for anyone with oil heating etc now would be a good time to fill the tank up

When I saw the drop in oil prices I did exactly that and saved about £80 on the same amount of heating oil last time. I could have saved probably another £60 or £70 had I waited until now, but that's how it goes. You can't win them all!
