Yeah because they're doing a bloody good job there!

 

[buchtis]

To the people living in the US. Would you guys have riots if fuel over there went up to U.K? Prices?

Over here we moan and nothing gets done, i'm guessing over there **** would hit the fan.

Don't seem to be doing that badly?

Don't seem to be doing that badly?

Well for starters fuel is too expensive for my liking.

 

[arekgreenman888]

lets be honest here and look the truth in face. it will hit 2 quid eventually so 1.40 is still cheap!

Some interesting facts for you about oil prices, exchange rates and petrol prices.

This time 12 months ago, a barrel of Brent crude was 5% more expensive than it is today. It's priced in dollars - this time 12 months ago though, Sterling was worth only 1.7% more than it is now against the dollar. Therefore, oil is no more expensive now than 12 months ago, adjusted for currency fluctuations.

Exactly 12 months ago, the average price across the UK of a litre of unleaded was 135.9p. Today, the average price is 141p a litre.

Interesting. I wonder where that extra 5p is going?

Perhaps the refining process has got more expensive, or the petrol stations overheads have increased. The joys of inflation.

There is a 3p + VAT rise in August. It has yet to take effect.

I'm a new driver (18) and I can tell you the insane insurance costs are far more a concern than fuel costs!

Seems it's about time I added that Delorean-style food processor to the back of the car - it's the only answer I tell you!

That pain will ease

Prices seem to have dropped around here over the last week, BP Ultimate down from 152.9p/l to 148.9p/

I'm so glad I stopped driving at 18! 6 years of not having to pay extortionate petrol prices!
