Title: Oil is now so cheap...
Post by: The Sheriff on 16 December 2014, 16:10:16
....that, as from Friday morning, asda will pay you to take it off their hands.
A spokesman for asda said "As from 8am on Friday morning, we will pay you to take our fuel away. It is now worth less than tapwater. We will be putting minus signs in front of the price displayed at the pump, so -1.12 per litre is the amount we will pay you. Please bring all of your gerry cans, plastic bottles and even your own tanker, if you have one".

On a radio phone-in in the south of England, a Monsieur Guffer was heard to exclaim 'BOLLICKS!' and sounded as if he was in tears. 'I knew I shouldn't have bought  that effin milk float....' He wailed before being cut off.
Never mind, Mr Guffer, I'm sure prices will go up soon. :)

I think the reason for that might be your penchant for buying ridiculous cars, a habit that's even worse than mine! ;D

120p petrol and 124 diesel at our local BP. Mind you, they really, really, really don't want to sell fuel any more.  Why the hell they don't just take on a Costa franchise and be done with it.

I see the mongrels this morning have now taken out the HGV pumps, so clearly they don't want dirty old truckers in their prestine coffee shop.

Realistically I can't afford a new enough one of either, but as long as petrol is significantly cheaper than diesel, the maths hold water...

Including my Tesco 10ppl off, I paid desperately close to £1 a litre of diesel when I filled the Battlebus earlier in week.  I think the advertised price was 112.9p

Tesco's extra in Swindon, is about 2p dearer at about 118.7p....
Besides I avoid supermarket if possible, no matter how cheap it is.....as its a lottery to where it comes from.....on a good day its one of the UK refineries, which is ok....on a bad day its foreign fuel...which is bad, as it doesn't have as much going for it in the way of additives....so not as good for the engine and less fuel economy.... ;)
