Dropped Fuel Costs!

Anyone know why petrol has fallen in price much more than diesel has? Petrol is 89.9p/litre here but diesel still as 93.9p/litre

Tesco dropped Petrol 2p a litre to 89.9 here today. No one else has yet. Diesel still 93.9.

Diesel is usually 4-5p dearer though ...

Diesel has always been only 1p/litre more than petrol here until recently

Its been quite a fall in the last few weeks. Have been filling my wifes car up recently and she uses petrol (I use diesel) and it was nearing £1 a litre a few weeks back - now down to just over only £0.90. Yes thats right ONLY £0.90 a litre. Gordon still takes about £0.70 of that is tax:mad:

I know! It amuses me how we've all been conditioned into thinking that 90p a litre is cheap!

Exactly. 90p per litre is still extorniate.

It will never get to the 80p mark ever again. I very much doubt it will drop below 90p either.

Cheapest here is 89.9 for unkeaded and 92.9 for diesel. A couple of weeks ago it was 98.9/99.9.
I may even be tempted to take the covers off the XJS

I've moved to a new house and my route to work now only has one petrol station which is in the sticks, and is still 98.9p for diesel, even though there are garages within 5 miles at 95.9p. The question is whether it's worth going an extra 10 miles (it's in the opposite direction) for 3p/litre.
