    We have an Asda and, sure enough, they've dropped the price. But it's the other side of town to me, so I checked round nearer to where I am situated and NONE of the others, Shell, Tesco or Sainsburys have dropped their prices at all >:(

    Seems it's not a national thing then :(

    I agree it's just not fair. I have emailed MP. "we want cheaper diesel too" ???
  • First post on Forum so BE GENTLE PLEASE ! ! !

    I agree with other Money savers. always petrol thats cut  never diesel.  Also I drive a so called performance car and have yet to find any Supemarket petrol station that sells SUPER UNLEADED.

    Anyone know the reason why ????

    Thanks :)  :)  :)

    I can only use SUL in my car <---- and have found Sainsburys often sell SUL and are often slow at changing the price (sometimes it gets within 1p of UL) :)

    The thing that wound me up was seeing LRP (which is SUL with additives for less than SUL!)...
  • The best solution to the rip-off UK fuel prices is to bail out to a country that doesn't rip of its inhabitants. I know plenty who have decided that the UK has long gone down the pan and left and that is my intention.

    I agree as a diesel driver we should not miss out on this reduction! don't think it is worth getting in touch with the MP though, they are all a waste of time. Will email Tesco, Asda etc as they need to realise that they are losing out, there are loads of diesel users out there.
    I think this is a defeatist attitude, and unless your prepared to have your say in the right quarters, nothing will change.
    I have FAXED my MP on many occasions and have had results.

    emailing him was unsatisfactory, often with no replies.
    Now I get results in 2 to 3 days. If enough of you bombard your MP with the disatisfaction your displaying here, then they will begin to sit up and take notice.
    FAX YOUR MP!! http://www.faxyourmp.com/index.php3

    Why only petrol reduced ?

    Perhaps it is because diesel is outselling petrol, and that is the reason for the price reduction, due to the large surplus stock of petrol. I am sure that is the reason.

    Diesel cars are now outselling petrol mainly due to tax incentives.

    I would love to see diesel reduced, as I do 20,000 miles per year >:(

    Just passed my local shell garage and notice they've dropped unleaded down to 76.9p (Horsforth, Leeds).

    ;D

    No sign of diesel being reduced though.
  • What happened to those fuel protests of a couple of years ago ........ That seemed to work re dropping prices @ the pumps ..... Now, there's a thought ?!!! ;)
    ;)
    No reliance should be placed on the above.

    Morrisons is 76.9p for unleaded but that doesn't help me. My hubby paid 88.9p at the weekend in a Motorway service station and filled the tank up! :o I've still got half a tank left before I get the cheap stuff.
