Today I went to my local Sainsbury's, as I so often do, to fill the tank.

Yesterday the price per litre was 138.8.  Today it had fallen to 129.9!

The staff had no idea why, and later I noticed the price at a local Tesco filling station had also fallen, but only to 133.9.

Does anyone know why this sudden fall has taken place.  Anything to do with the USA and Russia doing a deal over Syria, with any threat of military action now put on hold? 

Has it boosted market confidence in oil supplies being relatively safe in the Middle East for now? 

Or is there another more simple reason?

Good news for any driver in Ashford today anyway!

How about with you where you live?

I was quite surprised when the Super I filled with this morning was 134.9p - I assumed it was some kind of error until I saw the huge price sign on the main road proclaiming UL to be 129.9p.

I felt old when Amy remarked that it was 124.9p when she started driving..

Local Shell - £1.329 for unleaded this am.

Dont forget that due to Mark Carney's statements about QE the pound has risen in value making oil effectively cheaper.

My local asda was £1.28 today

No idea tbh. Cant remember the last time I bought petrol or Diesel. It has reminded me though that I must drain the 50 odd litres of unleaded out of the petrol tank of the dead 3.2 sat on my drive.

Yep. Down from £1.33 yesterday (when I brimmed my tank). Bastuds.

Sounds good, mine is getting low, last time I put petrol in 2.2 was around 6,000 miles ago in Austria

I would Del, but be quick.  When I was there at 1245 two unleaded pumps had run out of fuel!

6000 on one tank. Dat's good dat Tunnie.

Don't use the stuff meself.

Unleaded dropped around 2 pence a ltr round here.

Shame the piggin lpg went up by 2 pence

Half a tank old bean   

When en-route, outside temp was around -18 

I felt half a tank of petrol would be a wise security pre-caution, in-cause my LPG decided to stop working (which it never did)

So been lugging half a tank of fuel around, it switches over so quickly it uses very little

Excellent. All your fault

Thanks
