If it was $50 a barrel, how much would a litre cost here?

Last time it was $50 a barrel, unleaded was about 83p a litre.

Does that mean if the price remains around the $60 mark there could be further cuts?

Probably not, as £1 now only buys $1.50.

Have house prices really come down that much where you live, especially when you factor in the current state of mortgages? I wouldn't be buying right now.

They are cheaper, there are also less obtainable despite the fact they are cheaper... Hardly a win overall.

That's what annoys me with the UK - the tax added to fuel! As ppl have mentioned it has dropped 2/3's of the highest price over the summer yet the price per litre has not!
Over here it's cheaper than Pepsi right now

It is $1.79 for a gallon! It cost me about $25 to fill up

Oh I also here 'talk' on some news stations with predictions as low as $45 a barrel !!!

Is that Sawley Lancashire ShakenNstirred?

Anyway, BP 95 RON has gone to 94.9 here. We usually have slightly inflated prices due to location here so im quite happy with that price. I hope it will las t over this xmas period. Will make visiting familiy and days out a bit easier. Beats paying 110+!

92.9 at tescos at the mo here, + 5p a litre off if you do the shopping. Not bad.

Reading back the oil threads in SC is always a source of amusement. Naming no names

I notice none of them have been seen in any of these threads for weeks

Owning a diesel motor is less attractive than it has ever been due to diesel shortfall too, and will continue to get worse. Shame for Fabia VRS owners.

What have i been saying for months and months? Oh yeah

case in point - went past a non independent garage this morning:
petrol - 95p
diesel - 108p

Im seeing petrol drop more than I am seeing diesel drop. Also, it wasnt so long ago that diesel was actually cheaper than petrol

This morning I reset the computer on my Passat and drove 8 miles to work, normally.

The car returned 25.1mpg.

Hmm.

Clearly you've broken it more than you let on!

It's always done that - mid to high 20's. On the motorway when I go see a client or whatever it'll be mid 40's - which is fine, but my monthly average must be terrible as the commute kills the numbers.

Just making me think now, the economy isn't that great, then factor the price differential.

All this and Subaru are desperately trying to tempt me back to them (I do work for Subaru).
