I just assumed that they had started pricing it by the pint.

[windowwashers]

I know what you mean, I drove to work this morning on the way it was £129.9 on the way back £126.9 glad I did not fill up on the way.

wasted enough time trying to get drive side door to close

Thats cos you keep dropping your wallet down there 

[Pittmonkey]

Get ready for the Gov to now re-introduce the 2p tax they posponed 

Sorry to put a dampner on it 

[alanwilson]

don't get your hopes up too high - unlikely it will come down any further.

besides, only a year ago it was less than £1 a litre - now people think they are getting a bargain at 121.9p

sorry but even at 50p a litre its still a rip off

Bingo!!

And the govt seriously SERIOUSLY think theyre doing us a favour by not putting the extra 2p tax on a litre of fuel. All this when whatever you pay per litre that 66% of it is tax anyway.


If we still sold fuel by the gallon instead of the litre the proposed tax hike for the Autumn would have been approaching 10p a gallon, people would have been far likely to rebel at that; but because its sold in smaller volumes now they can get away with it, but it just means it SEEMS less tax.
Personally I reckon if they tried to hike 10p per gallon onto fuel they'd have had everyone out on the motorways not just lorry drivers holding all the traffic up.

[alanwilson]

well said matt

its all spin - the gov have people hoodwinked into thinking its not that bad, what a load of cobblers.

If someone told you 2 years ago that you'd be paying £1.30 a litre for diesel now you would have fainted, I would have.

but as usual we all just go on and ignore it - the french on the other hand??

[LWC]

aye, im not saying its cheap by any means because it isnt, i was saying i almost fainted because i went to petrol station and the price was actually less than last week not more

[Glyn H]

the french on the other hand??

In May President Sarkozy proposed to the EU that  VAT should be scrapped on fuel  - This fantastic proposal was not reported at all by the British media - are we suprised

[The EU has given a cool reception to an idea raised on Tuesday (27 May) by French President Nicolas Sarkozy for an EU-wide capping of the value added tax (VAT) on fuel as a way to tackle surging oil prices.

"If [the price of] oil continues to rise, should we not suspend the VAT tax part of oil prices?" Mr Sarkozy told French radio RTL.

I think we should vote him in as our PM, the French Government know that they have a responsability to their people!( if they dont want their heads cut off)  Unlike our money grabing parasites

did weekly shop at sainsburys , got a ticket for 5p of each litre, price at pump was 123.9 so filled up , 70 odd litres at 118.9  , still way to dear though, but its a start.

Those 5p per litre deals are a farce I reckon. Of course yes you are saving something but its so small.
 you have spend about £130.00 to save £3.50, big friggin deal.

every body has to shop, i spend way over that on a weekly shop any way. price at pump was already lower than many in the area , and i could get our shopping and fill up a bit cheaper.

Money grabbing government , not as bad as money grabbing window cleaners, lol

[Captain Scarlet]

Problem is new fuel pumps are £1000 plus if they don't like the veg oil

[paulscotney]

I made enqs apparently german vehs are best as german govt encourages it.

[birdymiller]

[seandyer2003]

116.9 is what im paying!! nearly £20 less to fill the other day!!!!

[Paul Coleman]

116.9 is what im paying!! nearly £20 less to fill the other day!!!!

Does that include a reduction for buying goods in a supermarket (or similar) or is that the basic price?  Was still 120.9p when I looked yesterday.
Seems funny that a few months ago, I pulled up at a small outlet.  When I saw it was 110.9p, I drove off in disgust (it was about 5 - 6p more than others in the area).

£116.9 at Asda in Cornwall without reduction for using their credit card (and extra 2p a litre).

[Moderator David@stives]

my mortgage has just come down too, 1/2 a percent with instant effect as i am on a tracker mortgage

[baldeagle]

Keep your eyes peeled at the pumps!

I used a smaller filling station in Stafford recently, because I was caught with the needle almost on the empty.

The price on the pump was higher than the price on the large illuminated sign at the entrance!

I reported the shysters to Stafford Trading Standards.

[birdymiller]

[Scrimble]

[dave.e]

[Paul Coleman]

99.9 diesel round here and 89.9 for petrol its about time

Yep.  Friday was the first time in ages that I paid under a quid a litre.  I'm saving about 34p a litre from peak price which equates to about £50 a month.

[S.A.J]

Diesel 99.9

Petrol 87.9

Plymouth, Devon

[Mr T]

99.9 in belfast, tesco

[Klean07]

Deisiel 98p at my local Shell garage in Stourbridge today so must be cheaper at supermarkets.

[Dean Aspects]

Diesels down to 98.9 here as well and if i go to Asda and use my credit card i save another 2p per litre
I honestly never thought we would see diesel below £1 per litre but its still way over priced

[dmlservices]

99.9 in walsall,

would like to see it come down to the same, or even cheaper then unleaded,
it use to be cheaper , can't see why it is dearer
