The excuse used to be "we pay for our oil 4/6 months ahead and the price rose in that time",now they blame it on "currency differentials" either way when oil prices rise the pump price does instantly whereas when it falls the excuses are plentiful as to why petrol cannot.:cool:counting down the time I got left.:beer::beer:0

Currency is not far off a 52 week high as well as we go into this evening, so its utter crap once again.0

Prices are averaging 130.9 a litre in shropshire0

I blame the news agencies like the BBC who broadcast the lies of the petrol companies. They have them on for interview on breakfast TV and they never challenge these people when they tell lies.0

I am sick of reading stories that Tesco have reduced their fuel prices in line with other supermarkets. Asda in Brighton has reduced unleaded to 130.7 per litre but Tesco in Burgess Hill 7 miles away still charge 135.9per litre. They only say they are reducing the price but rarely seem to do it .0

The excuse about the exchange rate is crazy, 2 years ago the pound was as low as $1.36 to the £1.00, its now $1.65 to the £1.00 yet they keep saying prices are high because the pound is weak against the dollar, rubbish its stayed higher now than over the last 2 years....
Why doesn't anyone mention this when the oil companies blame the weak pound!0 -

I agree,when the pounds low they blame that and also when its high they blame that too.my eldest daughter lives in n.ireland and the garage near her is charging £1.38 a litre for petrol and £1.41 for diesel.She got 900 litres of home heating oil 2 weeks back and it cost her £531.counting down the time I got left.:beer::beer:0 -
If prices eventually do fall, the government's only just gonna see an opportunity to stick on a couple of pence in taxes anyway. So no matter what happens the poor motorist is in a lose-lose situation.0

Tescos in Carrickfergus Northern Ireland sells diesel at 135.9 and unleaded is 131.9. They used to be the cheapest but when they have their 5ppl off they always put their price up by a few pence. However, now that you can use upto 3 coupons now achieving 15ppl off it works out very well especially if putting 50+ litres into the car.0
