Petrol Price Shock

[Lizzie Zoom]

With all that has been going on between the USA and Iran, with tankers bombed (as per the other threads) and World oil prices shooting up.......................

This morning at Sainsbury's, where the price has been up to 131.9 in recent weeks, it was 124.9, down 3p per litre on what it was just a few days ago!

Great, but what is going on now? 

Of course I filled up the tank to the brim in the gamble that price cannot last

Diesel £1.24.7 at Asda.

World oil prices shooting up.......................

Brent Crude has been trending downwards over the last few weeks and has gone from $70 down to about $60.  It briefly spiked when the tankers were attacked but quickly fell back again.

I can't say what I paid recently, I never tend to look now, nor follow the mpg.

Ignorance is bliss.

Still 54.9p here at Sainsburys, its been at them prices for a loooong time now, rhought that was bad as it was around 51p a couple of years back. Still mustnt grumble wasnt that far back when LPG was in its high Seventy Pence something and we though that was cheap.

For quiet a while with LPG vs Petrol and Diesel Prices its fair to say that it is, if not better than, half price Motoring when it comes to Fuel, even when you allow for the slightly lesser MPG on LPG vs Petrol..

That is good and let's hope that trend continues forever downwards Sir Tigger

You'll be challenging Lord Opti for his title of richest OOFer soon.

Quite opposite from what I'd assumed, one of the predictions for the future is that crude oil long term will get cheaper to dig up and refine.. with new technologies etc.

So perhaps one day when all cars are electric, the few petrol stations left will be back down to 2 digit-prices again!

PS I personally can't see it happening in a million years, but that's what the experts say

In the UK, the do-gooders will stop that.  People with too much time on their hands.  Cull 'em. All of 'em.

The Battlebus is the ideal weapon

[Sir Tigger KC]

If Corbyn wins the next GE expect McDonnell hike fuel duty and reintroduce the fuel duty escalator. 

All in the name of saving the world of course!
