Thread: Petrol

Am i right to say its now a whopping £1.30 a litre now?

Some one at work overheard some one in the shop today. I can't believe it.

If it doesnt go down, im going to have to sell my car as i cant afford to use it. Not using it means i am wasting £125 on tax and £50 a month for insurance. I feel sick at the thought of that.

If it has gone up, has it gone up in relation to tax or manufacturing price has soured. Cause if the government have hiked the tax on it, they have made a big boo boo there.

Where I am it's somewhere between £1.18 and £1.20, which is still flipping ridiculous. I'm still working out travel expenses for shows based on 40p per mile, but I'm gonna have to seriously consider revising this soon or I'll end up losing out!

I just went to the petrol station to fill up so i could go food shopping tomorrow... supposedly its going up at midnight

Hey,

DON'T purchase ANY petrol from the two
biggest oil companies (which now are one), ESSO and BP.
If they are not selling any petrol, they will be inclined to
reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other
companies will have to follow suit.

Realistically the chances of BP and ESSO not selling any petrol are minimal.

I tend to buy petrol from garages I can get points from eg Tesco or co-op but buy from whichever garage is closest when I need it!!!

i would love to do this but i live in a small market town and the nearest petrol stations are Bp and Esso. Tesco and the rest are all in Newcastle, which is a loverly 60 mile round trip from my house, there and back.
Unless Im in Newcastle already I will always have to go to those stations.

Im in Liverpool at the moment, its odd how its so much cheaper here than in Newcastle :/

It's cheaper in Liverpool? I dread to think how much it is down south if Liverpool is cheaper than Newcastle! I thought the petrol prices were bad here, but obviously not.

AS of the 1st April, 3p a litre additional tax is going on, unless Mr Darling changes his mind today.

I'm getting really fed up with it. Mr D and I moved away from where we work so we could afford to buy somewhere to live, we now travel 15 miles to and from work, unfortunately due to work patterns we cannot travel together as he starts work by 5am, and there is no public transport. The cost is just getting pheonomenal and I wonder if it is really worth me working.

Or use an old pug 306 diesel and run it off vegetable oil.

Costs me 20p a litre to run my 180bhp 07 plate civic off biodiesel.

Takes me all day to make 100 litres though, so money saved is money earnt so to speak.

Yeah at the same stations its roughly 2p (max) cheaper than here. I just got back and its kinda the same on average.

Theres a station near here, near to where all the Newcastle United footballers and lottery winners live and the petrol is/was 15p more than anywhere else.
