    Thanks for the heads up.

    Just hope we get a few months of cheaper fuel prices before Mr Osbourne increases fuel duty in the Budget!

    Make the most of it, the current evolving situation in the Gulf will drive prices up again.
    Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
  • Dropping diesel to below £1 just proves they are overcharging for unleaded again.

    Diesel always used to be cheaper.

    diesel at the pumps today was 99.7 pence per litre, or 83p pence a litre ex vat

    58 pence per litre goes to our government in fuel duty leaving 25 pence per litre for the fuel company and then the government add another 17 pence vat

    I don't think it is the fuel suppliers that are ripping us off here

    they tax us when we earn it and they tax us twice when we spend it, and as the fuel price goes up the vat goes up and the government screw us over for a few pence more :mad:

    Diesel hasn't been cheaper for many years.
