Petrol Prices

[duggiesmith]

15p off a litre at Morrissons just now (if you spend £60).

And is it just me or are fuel prices continuing their unrelenting march northwards, but in a slow and steady "let's hope no-one notices" stylee. I passed a station offering diesel at nearly £1.50 this weekend. And no, not in any old rural backwater but on a main A road feeding the Forth Road Bridge

Thankfully I found it 7p a litre cheaper at Sainsbury's further up the road

I suppose people will point to middle east unrest but hasn't that been the case for 40 years!

But frankly it's now just taking the p!ss.

What price did petrol get to when everyone started protesting?

[Shug]

90p rings a bell....

Think it was less - around mid eighties per litre .

Edit to add: Checked prices and unleaded was 80p diesel 85p in 2000 when petrol blockades started


I have noticed the slow price creep in the last couple of weeks:

13 Feb - £1.30.9
17 Feb - £1.32.9
23 Feb - £1.33.9

All at local Shell garage

V-Power = 1.43p right now, ish IIRC

Yes, it really is insidious.

I think it's fair to say now that my dream of running a highly-tuned V12 sports car ain't never gonna happen (as if!)

My local Morrissons stuck 1p on per litre early yesterday then last night my wife went to work at 8pm, when she came out at midnight they had added a further 2p, cheeky feckers
