Below a quid!

Only a year ago unleaded must;ve only been around 90p/litre .......... and crude's down to around $70 per barrel.

It peaked earlier this year aroudn the $147 mark and the selling price was 120p/litre for unleaded and 134p/litre for DERV. Still think we're getting a good deal?

I saw ULSP on sale at 97.9ppl at a Shell in Peterborough this morning.

Diesel is still over a pound a litre though  :|

There's very little profit in road fuels. For every £10 you buy, around £8.50 is tax. The remaining £1.50 is the VAT (yes, we pay tax on a tax), and covers distribution costs, staff costs etc. and only a penny or two is profit.

The oil company's profits don't come from road fuels, but the other products oil can be made in to like plastic, chemicals etc.

keep dropping prices back to 67p a litre as when i passed my test please!
You make me feel old! :) When I passed my test it was still priced in gallons.....£1.99 a gallon anyone? I also remember thinking that fuel was expensive when 4* hit £2.10 a gallon.


You and me both, mate  :lol: There's nothing like a comment like "Do you remember the old classics like Fat Boy Slim, Right Here, Right Now" to make you feel well past it :shock:  :lol:



Cost about £1.90 when i passed my test. 1985.  :shock:

It won't continue as the oil producers are not making enough profit (by their standards) with the price of oil per drum dropping. So they have decided to reduce the amount of oil produced resulting in a raise for demand , therefore, pushing the prices up again. Sorry to be the bringer of bad news. For those of you who can afford to, fill up while the prices are low.

No but the providers are raking it in still, just heard on the news about BP's profits, bit like the power companies, all the brown stuff runs down hill and guess where we are?

Course they are still raking it in. What is an acceptable proffit margin to us will be vastly different to their idea I can tell you and we're all standing at the bottom of the hill. Time to take a deep breathe!
