With the price of a barrel of oil going up (Nearly $67 currently) we can all expect the price of petrol at the pump to go back into the 90's once again. And i dont think it will drop anytime soon, i can only see it getting higher due to the threats iran has been throwing about.
Petrol Prices going to rise.

Well the price of wholesale is now just above $1.80, which at the time caused the prices to be in the 90's. Just a few weeks ago it was $1.60 was allowed to the prices to stay within the 80's. So give it a few days or even a week or more for the prices to start to go up again. If you all read up this, you will clearly see whats going to happen.

I noticed today that my local BP has changed all their p/litre signs from 3 digits to 4

I'm glad I've changed to a diesel. Economy is great even on a 2.5 V6.

It's all pshycological really, even doing 15k a year the fuel savings in buying the 2.5 V6 diesel will never make up for the additional purchase price and servicing costs over the petrol version.
I'd probably still have the diesel for the way it drives but I certainly wouldn't kid myself it's actually saving me any money.

Last time I quoted Brent prices on the forum you told me that we don't get our fuel from it[TW]Fox said:

Right i'm going out at lunch to brim me motor, a fuel-can, my bath, jam-jars & my clown pants with petrol, i need to grab the opportunity while the prices are 'cheap'.
As if it seriously makes any difference anyway, in fact I wellcome £1 per Litre, nice round number no messing.

Doesn't bother me either, I don't even know what it costs half the time. As long as it doesn't run out...

Going back over 90p?
Optimax in town hasn't been under 95p for 2 years!!!

Prices around here have been around 84-86p for unleaded for quite a while, with Optimax sitting at 90p or so. I don't care about it too much now. I don't do as many miles as I was before christmas, and we all get shafted as motorists anyway (where I live the roads are falling apart and it can take an hour to do a 6 mile journey) so why worry?
lol you all laugh, but in due time you will wish the price was back in the 90's lol. You are forgetting the affect this has on the other things in life, for example farmers and transportation. I know that in Northern Ireland farmers get to use red diesel which is about 50 p a litre, but they are doing away with this very soon and farmers will be forced to use normal diesel like the rest of us. I dont know if this is the case in the rest of the UK, but think of the effect this will have on the price of food produced and sold within the UK. Now some of you might say, good let them pay the same price as the rest of us, buy when you take into acount the hundreds of gallons a fuel a farmer might use in a single week, it soons starts to add up.
Also in fox i know the price of wholesale in $ has no effect on us, but i always us it as a guide to the price we can expext to pay.
