Has anyone noticed that oil is $54 per barrel now? I know that the pound is a bit shaky right now, but I think we are being royally ripped off.

Hi Nickbat,

I'm (genuinely) not sure what I'm missing, so no offence intended at all - but I've just been to the Netherlands, and Brussels - and both places, petrol was considerably more than it is in the UK.

I've just paid 91.9ppl to fill the meega - I thought I was getting a bargain compared to the 119.9 it was a few months ago.

Do you mean you think it should be cheaper?

As a consumer, in 2008. I must say I feel 90ppl is on the money.

(Not that I'd complain if it was cheaper)

I had been tossing up getting a 406 diesel, but when unleaded is 15p less than diesel, I may as well keep enjoying the V6...

Nothing new there then.   :-/

i agree petrol was only 15p per litre dearer when oil was $150 a barrell why arent we getting petrol for 80p now   and natural gas wtf is that all about

All forms of energy should be cheap as chips at the moment, Gormless said last week that he would sort it out. TW^T..

[markey mark]

dont mind the petrol price at min but the gas and electric are taking the pi$$ big time !!

[albitz]

If we all sign a pledge to plant a tree and hug it at least twice a day,will Gormless drastically reduce the tax on fuel which put in place for purely environmental reasons? I really think he will.

Hi James,
It was a late-night post and perhaps not one of my most enlightening!  
 
Around here the price of unleaded has consistently been around 95 or 96ppl for the last three weeks, while the cost of crude has tumbled almost daily. Obviously there is a time lag, but the rate of fall at the forecourt should match the wholesale rate. I must admit that I hadn't done my homework properly, for I discovered today that the cheapest in the land is about 90ppl. I wouldn't disagree that 90ppl is on the money, although i suspect that 85ppl is a more realistic reflection of $54bbl.

However, given the wide disparity between same-brand prices in different areas, it does make me think there there are some fast bucks being made.

Ah ha... I see!
I certainly wouldn't mind paying 85ppl
