brillomaster Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Anyone else noticed how much petrol has come down recently? Price for sainsburys unleaded (yes I know...) near me the other day was 1.229 which I thought was low, but morrisons have just trumped that with 1.209... Its been a long long time since petrol last dipped below 1.20 but it might well get there if this downward trend continues! Going to have to go for a nice long hoon to celebrate methinks 1 Quote
ChrisS Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Yes Sains and Asda are having a battle up here as well. Shell however are still high for V-Power. (but I only use that in the jet ski now,still 135 quid this month though ) Quote
mouthwash Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Price of oil has plummeted recently but we haven't seen nearly the amount it's dropped in savings at the pump per litre. :c Quote
Mudman Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) I work in the shipping industry and the tanker you see on the forecourt represents about a days fuel for one of our vessels. The Oil price (Brent Crude) has been falling for a while and all shipping lines are trending with a falling BAF surcharge (Bunker Adjustment Factor) this is to protect lines from fluctuation. Forecast is currently oil prices will continue to be weak for immediate future so good news at the pumps for a little longer but it will go up again - it always does. Plus theres a snowdome in the desert - thats why prices rocket ! Edited October 29, 2014 by Mudman Quote
brillomaster Posted October 29, 2014 Author Posted October 29, 2014 wow just been looking at the government figures for petrol prices here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/oil-and-petroleum-products-weekly-statistics average price for unleaded on 27/10/2014 was 125.11 - the last time it was that low was 03/01/2011, when it was 124.85. So this is comfortably the lowest price petrol has been for the last 4 years! Quote
370Ad Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Filled up my GFs car the other day in Asda and noticed it was 122.7. Not bad, similar price to 2009. Quote
WhackyWill Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 and you get 20p a liter off for shopping at Tesco as well, they are extending this offer until Feb 2015. :yahoo: 1 Quote

zakeri88 Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 How much do you have to spend a tescos to get 20p a litre off? Quote
ioneabee Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 every £40 spent gives you a fiver I think super (1.31) is now more expensive than diesel (1.29) round here though Quote

WhackyWill Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 How much do you have to spend a tescos to get 20p a litre off? Tesco’s Clubcard Fuel Save, due to run until 28 February 2015, allows Clubcard holders to save up to 20p per litre of fuel. For every £50 you spend in store or at tesco.com/groceries, you get 2p off a litre of fuel. Then for every further £50 you spend, you get another 2p off a litre and so on, up to a total of 20p a litre. Quote
Lexx Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 The Tesco fuel save doesn't stop at 20p. You can earn pretty much infinite per month. But you can only use 20p at a time. I've got 38p to use next month 1 Quote

I've got 38p to use next month You cannot carry over any unused amounts from one month to another, so if you have 38p to spend in Oct you cannot carry over 18p to Nov, but you can fill up the wife's car as well and give her your 18p .

I know this. That is why I said I have 38p to use NEXT MONTH. I have 3 cars. It's not difficult to use up. 1 Quote

brillomaster Posted October 29, 2014 Author Posted October 29, 2014 I think £1 a litre is a bit optimistic - we might get down to £1.15, but will see! would be awesome if it does happen though, can go back to going for drives just for the hell of it. 1 Quote
Grundy Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Still not a scratch on American prices...close to 50p a litre #teamtarmac Quote
rtbiscuit Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 The biggest portion of the coat of fuel is tax. The supermarkets only have so much to pls with before they use their own profits to subsidise it. Quote
brillomaster Posted October 29, 2014 Author Posted October 29, 2014 true, duty on fuel has been 57.5p a litre for the last 3 years! at least its not going up... Quote
JetSet Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Still not a scratch on American prices...close to 50p a litre #teamtarmac Yes, It's roughly 55p a litre these days. Premium fuel (95 RON) is around $3.30 a gallon but a U.S Gallon is only 82% of an imperial gallon (3.7 litres) . 98 RON (if you can get it) would be 60/62p. Pete Quote
