Panic at the pumps again

lucylucky

Very disappointed today.

Went to Morrisons for petrol, no queue and petrol still under 130p a litre.

I am missing out on all the panicking, where is is happening?

2010

I`ve not seen any queues anywhere on my travels at filling stations.
The cheapest unleaded I`ve came across was 1-239 at Sainsburys last Saturday where I filled up.

Never heard that before.

Where does that come from?

Diesel is partly made from oil which is partly formed from dead dinosaurs hence the term dino.

Petrol could also be called that then I suppose.:D

I normally hear the term "Dino" used to describe engine oil, e.g. mineral vs synthetic.

Pumps have been busy round here, but then again its month end, so everyone's just been paid.

Probably panic buying before the Yanks invade Libya and nick all the oil.

Unleaded just reached £130.9ppl round here.

Diesel is at £135.9ppl!

Heard on the radio the duty is due to increase next month,

Anyone know what increase it is supposed to be & what date? Have a link to the increase figures for petrol & LPG?

More importantly, does anyone know what possible justification there could be for this in the current climate......?!!!!

dino = dinosaur/fossil fuels. And opposed to bio & veggie oils.
