I posted the same thing at the same time lol. Didn't know it was Morissons too.

Debs

 

 

When are the cunts at shell gonna bring down v-power though ??

 

Wonder how long for though. With oil prices having gone up a short time ago, I guess we've got an increase filtering its way through??

 

bonus for me coz if you've got an asda credit card and get petrol in asda you get 2p of a ltr so thats i'll be paying 97.9

 

Fill yer boots



........... No dont, just yer tanks

 

Told you it would go down and it will go lower, it's 51 pence here

 

Rub it in why don't you!

 

Hell no mate. It's at it's lowest in years!! We should be seeing 90p a litre going by the oil price!

It's got to drop a bit yet!

 

FFS!
I only filled up last night - 37 quid, full tank.

I bet our local Morrisons dont do it, they've no competition. No other supermarkets sell petrol here.
Besides, theres talk of a production cut, the arabs clearly arent happy at their reduced profits. They're having to buy cheaper polish for their gold toilet seats these days...

 

are you loosing sleep over the 2 quid lol

 

When the oil prices rocketted before, we were told that fuel prices would rocket too, and they did.

Then oil prices came down alot and fuel only came down by a few %, which is no surprise. Then oil prices climbed again and there were warnings on the news about the fact that the rise in oil prices would result in increasing fuel prices, even though the rise after the fall was still less than before.

Make sense?

That was my point. They are quick to raise prices when oil goes up, but not so quick to bring them down at the same rate when oil prices drop.

 

Until now I was blissfully unaware. Tonight it will haunt my dreams.

 

Good to see.

 

Dam ! How long can you store petrol for......

.

 

nice
i need to fill up as im off to blackpool on sat

 

It's a start but it's hardly anything to be having a party over

We're still paying way too much for it compared to other countries.

 

the moment it drops down to 90p gordon will raise fuel duty

 

Yep that would be about right

 

scrap prices have gone down the pan too. i used to get 289 (last month) for clean copper, there paying 120 now per kilo so im holding on to it.

 

Which countries? Surely not any in europe by very much?

Most ive been to recently have been dearer than us, especially with the current Euro price!

 

I meant countries like America, Australia etc mind you I haven't looked into how much they're paying recently so I ma be wrong.

 

America is still cheaper, but not by a huge amount, and when you think how much more spread out everything is there, they are probably paying more for an average journey in tax than we are, and thats before you allow for the V8s lol

 

AJ, you can't be worried about petrol prices. You've just bought a Ferrari.

 

Usually the big boys (Shell/Esso/BP) price match the supermarkets so they don't loose business! Well they do round this way anyhow...

 

America not much cheaper?!?!?!?!? Isnt it like $3-$4 a gallon in USA, whereas even at 99.9p here, that makes ours £4.54 a gallon! Thats a MASSIVE difference if you ask me!

 

Yeah that will happen soon for sure.

As said though, its a head in the right direction of course but still much more than we should be paying.

 

Will the petrol prices continue to drop or will they shoot back up to 1.30 in six months??

 

more than likely

 

Well it's been about 4 weeks since the price of a barrel dropped $50 so they must have lined their pockets for this drop.

For the price of oil it should be as low as 85p per litre

 

Awesome, my dad just shouted "petrol has gone down to 99p at morrisons now"

 

TBH the price of it doesn't really bother me too much as the way I see it is if you want a nice car you have to accept all the costs that go with it but what does piss me off arethe rip off tax margins.

 

Very true, and sadly bugger all anyone can do about it.

Changes in oil prices per the barrel take 6 months to have an effect on the pumps, allegidly.

 

Yes but when its the other way round and it goes up, the price at the pump seems to go up the next day!

Ill be happy if diesel ever gets below a quid a litre. But as it is now, its still ridiculous.

 

I concur intirely, simple fact is the oil companies can get away with it since demand is so high.

 

Well yeah thats just it. The oil companies/fuel companies and the government know they can just do what they want with the price due to the demand like you say. People will always want/need fuel. if it was £2 litre, people would still buy it as we need it to get around.

I await the tree huggers saying get the bus instead, or even worse get the push iron out!
