Oil has now dropped to $82 per barrel. so petrol should drop below £1 per litre soon,but will it happen ? :-/
-
you need to ask?
the robbin barstewards will get all they can >:(
-
I remember a bloke from the petroleum retailers assoc. saying on tv a few months ago that pump prices track barrel prices but take a couple of months to filter through.so pump prices should drop considerably before christmas.
It will be interesting to see if they do.
-
i tanked up with BP Ultimate yesterday, was 113p, bargin i thought compared to the 123p it used to be several weeks ago.
-
lets hope the trend continues. :y

Except when Oil prices go up, then they change a lot faster.
Dick Turpin would be proud of 'em!

still around the 110.9 for unleaded in stevenage at the moment
-
My local Tesco is down to 106.9, which is nice :)
-
would be nice to see if it drops below a pound or at least very close
-
I personally think that 99.9p for petrol is a fair price.
90ppl would be ideal.
-
would be good if it does drop to that :y
-
It nearly is here - 105ppl...
-
had 105.9 ppl yesterday but not paid attention to petrol stations today as after 70 miles my needle has only just begun to move off the "full" mark :D
-
Still 109.9 here.
120.9 for the thick stuff :(

how long do you think it will be before opec cut production to force the price back up nickbat?
Had to laugh earlier when Gormless Brown said that the oil companies must cut the price of petrol ,to make life easier for the motorists.
How did he kee his face straight.actually,come to think of it,he never keeps his face straight. :D ;D
-
where are you getting the oil price from?? is it available to view online?
petrol here is now 102.9ppl
-
A big city financial wizz said on TV a while back that it takes at least 4-5 weeks for a drop in oil prices to reflect a drop in price at the pump.
On Working Lunch BBC2 today the boss from Shell UK said price reductions should hit the pumps pretty quickly............
What do you believe?........I know that whenever oil prices go up it nearly always impacts at the pump same day or very soon after.
Price of petrol here 105.9 diesel 116.9 ASDA/Sainsburys and that's about the cheapest.

Sorry I sort of duplicated the other thread. When I heard the news I checked to see if anyone had mentioned it and it didn't look like it (at least from the thread titles).
Sorry again. :-[ :-[

The price of crude has dropped further today, to $71/barrel, so further falls in the forecourt price are a certainty I would say. :y
-

yet again Nickbat was right

Well good luck to y'all ,I never thought it would fall below £1 in UK again .
Here in Ireland we had our budget yesterday and petrol ,although not diesel ,went up by 8 cents a litre. Still with a 7 billion euro fiscal shortfall expected next year it could have and probably should have been worse.
However, no council tax or water rates help. :y :y :y
-
Yer, now its below a pound, I wonder how long it is before that Darling Chancellor remembers that 2p tax hike ::)
-

Yep. That'll be rearing its' ugly head for certain, just as soon as he's figured out how to fiddle the inflation figures to exclude fuel duty. >:(

Won't be that long then!
Mr Brown fixed that one when he had the job >:(

That's the only reason Brown wants the Oil Companies to drop their prices so that he can stick the boot in again with his added Tax to try and claw back some of the money his spent bailing out those poor self-abusersbankers >:( >:( >:(.

The oil will soon start flowing out of Iraq again, they need the money to rebuild the Yanks target practice, more oil on the market should keep the supply up and the price down.

The difference between petrol and diesel is now about 12%.....prices used to be very similar....is there a reason for this ,or is Mr Darling a man that hates diesels.....or just a greedy bas###d. :'( :'( :y :y

Evo magazine this month.
1998
petrol cars 85%
diesel cars 15%
2008
petrol cars 56%
diesel cars 43%
Alternative fuel and electric 1%........Diesels are taking over the world.
This could account for the extra cost of diesel. :'( :y

Our European neighbours have been buying more oil burners than petrols for well over a decade.
And if you think we're behind in the came....look at the US

I believe diesel does cost more to refine, again i am happy to be proved wrong on that.
Another reson for diesel cars being more popular is the fact that they drive a lot like petrol cars these days, especially the more modern common rail stuff.
In the last 10-15 years there has been massive investment in diesel technology and so the engins are quiter, more economical and still as robust as they have been, if there had been as much investment in the petrol engine then it is fair to say the technolocical advances could have made it better than it is today.
Once the populus adopted diesel the government decided to milk it for all it was worth, this has always been the fear with LPG and other 'alternative fuels' once they become popular they lose their advantage.
if this price difference was to continue or aonother 10 years it would be interesting to see the petrol/diesel ratio difference then
