1p apparently, but most stations have already caught on and put it up by a penny last night anyway.

Oh, not really worth doing then for the sake of a penny.

Probably just doing it to make it look as if they are doing something.

Its a nonsense gesture really that we wont see any difference from.
The problem is we are going to get hit even harder on alcohol!

It's not been reduced at all, an increase on extraction of oil fees will blast it up by 10p by June.

Cooking oil might be the future or some of that red diesel!

Yes it went up by 1p in most places the other day, sneaky Bastards! Well if more and more countries continue to revolt this will keep increasing!

The 1p drop is laughable considering taxation on fuel is currently around 80p of a £1.30 litre. If the government decided to half their fuel duty petrol prices would dip below £1 for the first time in many years. Now THAT would be something interesting in the budget!

It's gone up by a penny at my local garage* compared to last week. Basic unleaded is now 134.9 and basic diesel is a staggering 140.9

*BP Garage in the Butts Road

Seen a few people use cooking oil. It does work but apparently you get that greesey smell.
Someone near by used to go to the local chippies and pick up all their old oil for free.


Sooner we get hydrogen fuel the better.

As soon as biodiesel, LPG or hydrogen become popular, the government will slap massive duties on it like they did with diesel!
