Fuel prices

Nick1881 · 28 Oct 2009 at 11:41

Just me or have they increased a little bit again?

Do you think we will ever see fuel prices at under £1 a litre again?

Hxc · 28 Oct 2009 at 11:49

FUEL WILL BE £13401873 A LITRE BY CHRISTMAS!!!

They decreased by a couple of pence, now they're starting to creap back up. The only way they'll drop below the pound is if there's a media frenzy again.

Crude oil has gone up $10 a barrel in the last 30 days, so it will go up a bit.

probably not. But then who am i to say.

UK is cheaper than europe though.

Yea I found that surprising when I was last over. Due to the Euro being so strong against the £ though.

I'll keep dreaming about 99.9p then.

Many places around us are now selling at 109p so it won't be long before we hit 110p.
I said we'd see 120p by Christmas - maybe not quite.
Remember that VAT goes up at the end of the year which will add around 3p per litre.

I filled up with Tesco 99 at Hatfield on Sunday for 101.0p/l. Didnt realise until they said how much it was at the till. They had the normal petrol at 104.9 I think so someone obviously made a mistake that day !

but when VAT goes up shouldn't duty come down to stem the affects

oh no i don't think so.

Someone should market a device that 'hacks' fuel pumps. Like the ones for fruit machines.
Small enough to conceal in your filler cap, you place it on the pump and it makes it count up at half speed, or something.
I mean it doesn't have to work or anything, but I'm sure they'd sell well.

I hope so.

Found a petrol receipt the other day from when I had my first car (about 9 years ago). I paid ~73p per litre. And I used to think that was expensive!

I too remember the days of 70p fuel.

^ Same here

Back up to 102.9/103.9 here.

Was 101.9 for weeks.

MrMoonX · 28 Oct 2009 at 14:47

105.9 round surrey

britboy4321 · 28 Oct 2009 at 15:00

I'm the only person in the world who thinks fuel prices are reasonable. And yes, everyone hates me for it.

Put it this way, it's bearly more expensive than coca cola or bottled water!

Fishman · 28 Oct 2009 at 15:01

You dont need cola or bottled water to get to work though

Torch [P4] · 28 Oct 2009 at 15:02

nor do you drink 70 odd litres of it in such a short space of time
