Since the beginning of the month, Brent crude has fallen almost 20%. I haven't seen much of a reduction at the pumps

I didn't see the 5p reduction earlier in the year either. :-\
Might have seen about 1p of it.
-
In fairness I have noted how today around our parts unleaded is now about £1.629 per litre, when it was not so long ago it was hitting around the £1.989 mark.
But of course it is still way above what it was at the beginning of the year. :P

Yes Brent Crude has dropped back to January levels, before Putin's ill advised adventure in Ukraine. :y
But of course Sterling has also dropped, mostly due to the Dollar's strength with the Fed's aggressive interest rate rises, but it's also lost 3% today alone after the not so mini budget. Currently £109.20.
George Soros must be filling his boots again shorting £££! ::)

Put in £50 at £1.52.9 today. But that is Lincolnshire where everybody is poor. They can easily charge an extra 10p a litre in Kent where the people drip with excessive wealth. :)

The cheapest diesel around here is £1.79

I've been paying £1.689 for diesel at Costco Bristol recently.
-
When I say £152.9 I'm obviously talking about the fuel that God himself designed and engineered, and not the drippings from Satan's knob that is derv. >:D

£1.55 for e10 at the garage I use in Witham. Plus 5ppl off in exchange for 300 Nectar points.
Derv is still well above 170p though.

It's strange how times change. 10 or 15 years ago derv was going to save the world.
I think Gordon Brown was very much in favour.

Yes, that was the message but I never bought into it. Two days ago I was behind a Merc that was the same age as my Omega. It had a diesel engine, and my goodness didn’t we know it with thick blue oiled, diesel smelling smoke issuing every time it accelerated, like with many diesel lorries!! :o :o
Cough, cough, cough………….……

I always have a childish little chuckle when at night I boot my old Volvo past a slow driver and leave them in a cloud of diesel smoke showing in their headlights! ;D

He'd have got at least twice as far as you on his tank of fuel, though, and that's what matters to us environmentalists. ::)
