Sorry, that link doesn't seem to work. But oil is down nearly 17% in the last month.
-
Yep Brent Crude is $76.79 right now, down from a recent spike on 27th Sept when it got to the giddy heights of $95.34.
I paid £1.47 for a litre of diesel yesterday at Costco Avonmouth, but the local petrol stations down here in the Dorset/Devon borderlands are still charging about £1.60 a litre.
-
Cant remember the last time I saw petrol at less than 1.50 a litre. :(
-
Diesel has dropped from 172 to 160 in two weeks here.
Not much given the fall in crude.

At Sainsburys yesterday, it was 1.48.
-
1.52 at my local Sainsburys.

1.52 at my local Sainsburys.
Same in sunny Suffolk.

Looks like pump prices won't drop much either as Brent Crude recovered yesterday's slide today on rumours of an imminent OPEC+ production cut. :(

-

I'm sure they'll think of a figure and then double it. ;)
-
£1.47 for unleaded around me yesterday...
-
£1.59 for E5 in Middle Earth
-
Asda Wakefield today £139.7 and £149.7.
-
Exactly the same at Sainsbury's in Spalding yesterday.
-
Still 151.9 for the black stuff here in Brakkers. We're a bit behind the times, you see.
-
I paid £1.40(ish) for a litre of diesel at Costco Avonmouth in the week.
Brent Crude was down to about $75 as well this week.
-
£1.38 in Chichester.
-
e10 was 139.9 in Tescos Sudbury tonight. Cheapest Ive seen for a very long time.
-
I've never put E10 in any of my cars since its was introduced. Rather pay a few pence more for the 'better' stuff E5 - ethanol...is...horrible....stuff >:(
-
89.9p in My nearest Morrisons at the moment, when they can actually be bothered to stock the stuff, taking the piss if I'm honest considering it was only 37.9p this time last year at the local Sainsbury's before they decided "were not playing that game anymore, so bugger off".
Obviously I'm referring to LPG, which is now like Liquid Gold unless you live in Brum or Manchester. >:(
Best I can get on the UL Jungle Juice at the moment is 137.9 or 145.9 for the pure Crude in East London. :y

I put E5 in the Omega ,seems to get slightly better MPG :-\ or maybe i'm kidding myself ;D
I also pit E5 in the 2002 astra G 1.4 as it's rarely used.
about £1.63 per L
-
I put e5 in most of the time, but when it got within site of two quid a litre a while back I refused on principle to pay that much for petrol. A few tanks of e10 isnt going to do any harm.

As the Omega has knock sensors, you should be able to get better MPG off it, *IF* you don't make use of the extra power you can also achieve.
Ex-Bro had a 4.8l X5, and said it was cheaper to use the high octane stuff, as the extra MPG easily outweighed the extra cost.... ....unless I was driving ;D

My MPG is over 24 right now
"not trying" I hear you say ;D
truth is ,there's so many diversions to avoid floods/roadworks, the A38 at Lichfield HS2 delays etc etc ,I can't get my speed up and press on :-X
my MPM (minutes per mile) has gone to sh!t :(

Oil is down another 3.8% today, they'll be paying us to take fuel away soon :y

Its had a bit of use, albeit it short journeys, so its well topped up with electricity :y
As a rule, that car doesn't get used for a couple of weeks, then will do 150 miles. In order to keep the battery in good condition, I charge it if it hasn't been used for a couple of weeks :). Also, if I've washed it, or worked on it and then not use for a few days I tend to charge it - it seems to have quite a heavy draw when left unlocked, more so if the doors are open or frequently opened and closed.

£139.9 for a litre of Costco's finest DERV at Avonmouth this afternoon, and I think I spied through the gathering dusk that Unleaded was £129.9. :)
