When are petrol prices going down?!?
« on: 07 November 2008, 21:26:29 »
Big news, a 2p/L price war.  Gimme a break.   ::)

Petrol prices have dropped 50% in the last few months in the states.  OK, so that won't happen in the UK.  A better comparison is that they have dropped to what they were 6 years ago.  So when is that going to happen here?  >:( >:(

only cost me £57.85 to fill up on Monday at Sainsbury's  :o

which actually is relatively good for super-unleaded but I did have a 5p per litre off voucher - worked out at about 95p / litre :-/

Well, I know its not perfect but I am happy to pay 92.9p after paying 117.9 only 5 weeks ago.

Plus, with my tesco vouchers it will be only 87.9p, which is 30p a litre cheaper, 1.36 quid a gallon cheaper and almost 23 quid a tankful cheaper than before......

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  :(

As said spend £50 in Tesco (not difficult) & get 5p per litre off which equates to 89.9p. The Beastie is nearly full & the 'Tina is just below half full so will be on the next shopping run.
   Just for a laugh i remember at 18 filling my Ford Anglia up from the red on friday pay day with £7 worth of good old 4 star!!!!!!!!!!! :D

LPG has come down by almost the same proportion round here though. 62.9 at the worst of it down to 51.9 now. I'm still glad I'm not feeding an MV6 on petrol anymore. :y
