Petrol and diesel prices edge up

Alias_Omega

Just returned from France, Diesel was €1.30 a litre.

Thats £1.13 a litre. No wonder european HGV's & our car was filled up before arriving back in the UK

Read the full story:

"Petrol and diesel prices edge up"

Presumably so the supermarkets can advertsie they have reduced the price again

Asda and Sainsburys have so far declared price drops ... expect the other supermarkets to follow suit.

I think in inflationary terms petrol prices are pretty static. It's been around 1.32 for quite some time, I reember it went up to 1.40 per litre for petrol a while back last year.

I think the 70p period you're talking about was probably around £1.40 in todays money.

I'm not an old a dog as you, but I remember when prices broke £1, and it was a huge milestone and a big deal at the time. But then again £1 was worth more then. These days chocolate bar at the corner shop costs 65p. A 500ml bottle of coke costs £1.10.

Thinking about it, coke costs more by volume than petrol!

Whats the inflationary term for when it was 4 UK Gallons for a £1 then.... :beer:

Edit: mind you at the time I think I was being paid around £6.00 a week before tax etc.
