That is a gadget for google homepage. Just search for 'Oil Price' under the 'Add Stuff' option.

Filled up in Bristol today with VPower which was 123.9 (£69 for brim'd tank), same price as BP Ultimate was last week.

Shell in Sheffield had petrol for 109.9p when I went up on Friday, not bad at all! Would've filled up if I hadn't have sold my car a couple of months ago

Hopefully see some falls when the damage has fully been assessed in Texas. Exchange rate against the dollar is the biggest problem atm, but the the collapse of Lehman may well knacker the dollar with luck.

Which in turn will increase oils attractiveness as a hedge, though not as much as before.

Hopefully it wont get much worse. But I agree we shouldn't hold are breaths for price cuts.

$88/barrel anyone? :cool:

Seeing £1.05 at the pump around here, have seen it at £1.01 though. Not bad.

mrk · 6 Oct 2008 at 18:08
