Averaging around £1.20 per litre here at the moment.
Cheapest LPG is 67p.

65.9p at a few LPG stations around here (Shell and Total), one of the Total's in Milton Keynes (I work in MK) is 63.9p, but wrong side of the town.

Expecting it to go up, but I'm still quids in until it hits around £1 per litre (and assuming petrol stays at around £1.20).

Really annoying in France last week that they can get diesel cheaper than petrol. What's that all about? 

I have been listening to an oil industry "expert" this afternoon on tv who has stated by about February next year diesel will be up to 1.30 per litre, and at the moment supplies are also in trouble, so fuel prices in general are going up now!

He said that the rise in VAT and fuel tax will not help at all

I went to an independant last night.....his diesel is 124ppl, not the cheapest in Swindon, but not far off pence or two dearer......but he had run out of diesel.
So shortly i swung into a Texaco that i was passing.....it was only as i was putting diesel in, i noticed the price on the pump, 128ppl 
It makes me wonder if that price is because some garages are running out and the Texaco is exploiting the situation.

I filled up SWMBO's Jazz at Esso at the bottom of Kingshill yesterday, 1.169 unleaded.  I think his diesel was 1.229:y

[the alarming man]

fuel will be going up by 7.5 % come january as there is a 5% rise in vat and also goverment are sticking 2% on fuel as well (i think)

i thought vat was still at 15 % whatever it is it is too much

Local Tesco has went up 3p to 121.9 in the last 2 days BP ran out!

I was over Coleview area earlier, both Sainsbury's and the Esso garage are 119.9ppl for diesel......sorry didnt make a note of unleaded, but must be 117/118ppl

They sure have shot up, my local Shell had ran out of Diesel, as I was literally on fumes in the van, I had to put £15 in at the price of £1.27.9 

[Road Hog Mad]

$92 per barrel of oil, so expect around £1.22 per litre.

this might explain it a bit....of course the fuel we buy is made from oil bought at lower prices months ago....but I'm quite sure they have the consumers best interests at heart

Splendid idea Lizzie.

What a wonderful way to create employment and make use of coal - that one remaining under-exploited natural resource we can conveniently (for the most part) lay hands upon.
