So with oil down $20 in the past 3 months to $87 will be see petrol prices fall as sharply? I doubt.

No, because oil is not down to $87.

West Texas Intermediate is down to $87 - but as this is delivered to Cushing, Oklahoma, it isn't an awful lot of use to us.

Our fuel is refined from Brent Crude.

Brent Crude is $110 at the moment - the spread between Brent and WTI is touching record highs.

$87? where have you seen that?

Looking at Brent crude, prices are all still around $110 everywhere I can see

Dropped nearly 5% today, currently $107.

Shame it's not $87 like the Americans have

I noticed the price of petrol was at £1.28 ish yesterday, which was suprisingly cheap. The local Shell station is still around 5p dearer. It seems Asda have decided to undercut everyone nation wide. Who knows how long it will last for.

Now if only I could see V-power dropping 5p a litre.

£1.479 is what I'm paying for V-Power

Buying your receipts? Is that so he can claim the full cost against his companies expenses?

So reputable isn't it, the security industry

It's 97 RON and the closest Shell garage is 10 miles outside of Plymouth.

Now we are stuck with fake low interest rates and a bunch of people who would have their houses repossessed if they increased.

Fixed.

The price of fuel is really getting beyond a joke now. I filled up yesterday and it was £1.39 a litre. Have some garages locally that charge £1.43 a litre for diesel. I can remember the protests when fuel broke the £1 a litre barrier, now it's almost 50% that again.

We're over a barrel though. The Government aren't going to reduce tax and we need to drive. It's depressing.

Meh

Logsi · 6 Nov 2011 at 14:22

Most petrol round my parts is 135.9...

Asda is floating around 132...

I'd love a £35 tank again. £50+ hurts.

Isn't that a good thing, considering Oil is the only thing we actually export?

It's absolutely fine - I always fill the M5 up with Sainsburys Super as it's so much cheaper than V-Power and I honestly can't tell the difference!

Fox was right. Its not our fault a bunch of idiots saw some emergency measures coming in and decided it would be the best time to mortgage houses they couldn't afford >.>

Actually, I am right. And I wasn't criticising Fox, merely pointing out I think it will be worse than he suggested.
