Not news...

Yesterday I had to pay 148.9 at the M40/A40 services (I was late and my fuel plans got screwed by a half hour traffic jam) - I put in just enough to get home where the local garage was 136.9 - an incredible difference

Band wagon jumping.. Just saying..

Just a couple of days ago it was 'news' (and I use that term extremely loosely) that prices were dropping..

Make up your bloody minds..

Not that anyone gives a flying fig anyway, the natural movement of prices isn't 'news' unless if course you live in some cave miles away from civilisation.

If you want to make a pointless news story, do one such as saying the average price of petro. over the last year has remained stagnant..

Tesco must be getting ready for another cheap fuel vouchers.

"Get away for the Easter Weekend, with upto 50p off a litre when you buy these items"

U/L round my way seems to average about 136.9p, and diesel about 144.9p.

Not really any more or any less than we've been paying for the last year or so.

Shell V-Power diesel seems to vary a lot, one side of town it's 153.9p the other 146.9p so I shop around!

Morrisons' and Asda petrol is 135.9p at the moment round where I live..

Life would be great if petrol was still 100.0p a litre even.

Crude is down almost 10$ a bbl a month, yet the prices at the pump remain just as high. The gov must love the extra VAT they're making on this, and the Oil majors the extra margins.

Exactly, the government have no interest whatsoever in seeing fuel prices (petrol, gas, electric) go down, because it means less money in revenues and less money for their industrialist friends, and their friends in the city.
We vote them in and they treat us like poo - nothing changes.
