Yet, I paid £1.07 per ltr today, nowhere near as high as it was. But that won't last long.

Because 58p of each litre is tax, no matter what the price of oil is.

That's only the Fuel Duty, add to that 20% VAT on 58p and its nearer 70p of the price per litre.

Petrol price vary from garage to garage at an amazing discrepancy. Saw one garage at£1.02, and another half a mile away at£1.09.
We've been ripped off for so long on petrol, is nice to see it very near to £1 again

Put gas central heating in, that'll get the price back up.

We use LPG for home heating, hot water and hob cooking as we are “off-grid” for mains supply. It’s a right little cartel led by Calor and I’m not expecting any reductions to be passed onto domestic consumers quickly. Unlike price hikes when the wholesale prices jump...

I'm not going anywhere so hopefully the price at the pumps will be good when I do refill, no excuse for them not to be good. They don't have enough storage for the oil being produced.
