Petrol has dropped 25p/Litre in the last 6 weeks. I'm one of a minority who's not too happy about it! Why? Because I just spent £2K on a LPG conversion. Biggest waste of £2K ever   I'm quite happy to pay 90p/Litre or even £1.05/Litre, and if prices stayed around those levels I wouldn't have bothered with a conversion. £1.20 scared me thats why I got the conversion done. Wish I hadn't bothered now  

£2000

Should have gone DIY but even at 55p it will pay off

Not to put too fine a point on it, but the attitude of being 'happy' to pay 90ppl for fuel is why the UK ended up with Gordon Brown.  It's called the Stockholm Syndrome.

We are not happy to pay that much we are happy to pay 40p a litre

"Stockholm syndrome is a psychological response sometimes seen in an abducted hostage, in which the hostage shows signs of loyalty to the hostage-taker, regardless of the danger (or at least risk) in which they have been placed."

So we actually like GB, despite all his blunders and total lack of action when required ?. You are prob right, this country tends just to muddle on despite being treated like c**p.

any suggestions for getting the price down even further?

92p is totally reasonable in today's climate surely? That's only £4.19 a gallon.. so if a V6 gets 25mpg, that's only 17p a mile - so on a run when that increases slightly, you would easily do 100 miles on about £14.

Seems like bargain motoring to me!

Last weekend I went from Cardiff, to Ramsgate, to Cardiff again - round trip of 500 miles, and I did it all on a tank with a bit to spare, 3.0 V6 auto, loaded up to the hilt, and that cost about £67. I really can't complain at that, and with the way prices are, I'm not worried about gas converting.. .

I can remember 50p per gallon in 1975,my moped did 120 to the gallon. The good old days.

I had a Garelli Rekord (yes that is the correct spelling) in 1976...looked lika a proper motorbike.....unlike the yammy Fizzy...It gave out 6.2bhp from 49c.c.....55mph on the flat ....65mph ...on steep hills. It used to regularly hole pistons....Fu##ing 2 strokes.
