Petrol Price
Comments

Not only has petrol come down, but a few days ago I picked a particularly tricky supermarket to get to purely because it had the cheapest petrol, now I find the dearer (by 3p/litre) petrol station along my road has it at that same price. So it's dropped 3p/litre just this week.
Overall, since peak, it's dropped 12p/litre for unleaded where I am.0 -
You should let http://www.petrolprices.com/ know then, they've got the cheapest at 1.039tomstickland wrote: »Cheapest I've seen is 1.02, most expensive 1.14. 12p/litre difference is amazing.
Across the country, the petrol stations petrolprices report on give a range from £1.039 to £1.199 for unleaded. 16p is a lot! For a small car, filling with 40 litres, that'd be a difference of £6.40/tank.0 -

I gave that site a go but it doenst seem very up-to-date for me. I use super unleaded and my last fill up was over 2p a litre cheaper than the site was showing for the cheapest in my area.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA).

It's 111.9 for petrol in Northern Ireland, so I guess we're one of the dearest at the minute? Funny that because we used to be among the cheapest!Northern Ireland club member No 382 :j0

The price you see takes a few months to hit the pumps. The increases were also not fully passed onto the consumer. So, you should expect the drop to be as sluggish as well. That is the cost of smoothing.
Exchange rate could be the biggest problem going forward on that though.
What planet are you on? When oil was increasing a few months ago, my local petrol station (incl supermarkets) increased their prices almost immediately and every few days.0 -
>increased their prices almost immediately<
Yep, the were wacking up the cost of goods already in the garage storage tanks, so must have been bought ages back! Pure profiteering.
Perhaps uber-economist Vince Cable can comment? Or does he still have mates in Shell?0
