Post by: Richie London on 22 July 2008, 09:20:47
about time the prices came down instead of up, how long it will last or how low it will go

hopefully the downward trend will turn into a long term spiral.
sainsburys have announced a 5p p/l cut if you spend over 50 quid.  ;)

Yaye!!!  :D

So glad pruces are going to come down! Prices in my little corner of Kent start at 120.9p up to 142.9 for diesel.

Might get to be slightly more reckless with my use of fuel, go out for the pleasure of it!

I know, I know I should only use the car for essential journey and I need to use a bike for the pleasure of it. But whilst there are cars and roads to enjoy, I intend to enjoy them.

The government like to tell us prices are high because of the cost of oil.
They neglect to tell us that about 60% is pure tax and added V.A.T. :-* :-* :-* :( >:(

Asda and Morrisons are cutting the price of unleaded to £1.13 and diesel to £1.27 from 6pm this evening. :y  It's good to see a price drop for a change but it's still not enough.

You are all lucky, i went to my local Sainsburys and they have put the price UP since yesterday. Now 121.9 when I asked about it, I was told that if I spend instore then I can have a 5p voucher and as there is no local competition they have no intention of lowering prices!

B*!@&!ds!!!!
