it will, right now the sudden rise of countries needing oil has increased demand very fast, sooner rather than later the supply will catch back up.

But will it come back under £1 litre?

113.9p/l here now.

When will this madness end? I know its only a penny a week but it all mounts up.

ONLY a penny a week? 52p a year is a fairly bloomin hefty increase....

Tom|Nbk · 30 May 2008 at 17:37

An increase every few weeks though (current situation)

13p extra a litre compared to this time last year and that DOES add up

Scottland · 30 May 2008 at 18:00

A couple of weeks back I worked out that for every 10p rise, I had to do 1½ hours overtime a month to make up the difference or something silly like that.

What are you taking about?

If oil drops so will petrol prices. But i dont think we will see it drop to the point where we see £1 a litre ever again.

£55.99 for 48.72 litres of supermarket unleaded. However with doing a few more miles on my weeks holiday couple of weeks ago I was able to up the mpg of my 1.8 Mondeo to 33mpg! (half motorway miles, rest of tank town miles).

Planning on cycling to work more, so I should make this tank last at least a month.

err what are you talking about? your are disagreeing as well as agreeing with me at the same time :confused:

if oil drops to $60, our price should also drop below 90p, but im sure by then a extra 10p tax will be on it, at least.

Oil seems to be slowly dropping, it's now at $124.280. I doubt fuel prices will drop though but they shouldn't rise as fast at the moment.

[TW]Fox · 3 Jun 2008 at 22:58

Oil has been doing that for about the last 10 days. This is the second time in that period it has touched the $124 mark. I suspect it will rise again shortly.

Princey · 3 Jun 2008 at 23:07

I know its been dropping for a while but I don't think we'll see such a sharp increase for a while.

Where do you get these ideas?

There is not a chance 10 more pence will be added to the fuel tax.
