Pistol Pete Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Just filled up the Westy for tomorrow's run out and saw the price of the petrol ending in 6.7p, thought that's pricy then I realised it was 126.7p not 136.7p. :t-up: Hopefully if it keeps low people will have a bit more in their pocket to spend and get the ecomony moving.

Norman Verona Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 7.4% reduction. Crude oil prices have come down 30% this year. But, I suppose as long as it's cheaper everyone will be happy. Including the oil companies and the government. ed to add that the 30% figure comes from the BBC, so it must be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickw2000 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I wonder if we will ever pay less than or around £1 a litre in the future just like it was a few years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain m Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 So petrol should be under a £1 a litre????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 If the 30% figure is correct, the oil price web sites don't back this up, then yes. And is there any reason that end user prices should not fall if the wholesale prices fall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Dastardly Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 And is there any reason that end user prices should not fall if the wholesale prices fall? Yes. Tax. So much of the price of fuel is tax that the change in the price of crude does not have the effect you would expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I remember when you could get 3 GALLONS for a pound By 'eck! When I were a lad I could put three gallons of cheap petrol in my old Morris for 13/- - those were the days! Mind you, the posh bloke wi' the Jag had to pay 5s 01/2d for a gallon of Shell Super from the pump with the blue shell on top. http://www.flickr.com/photos/38369684@N06/3699299000/lightbox/ 5s 1d here though!

Norman Verona Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Yes. Tax. So much of the price of fuel is tax that the change in the price of crude does not have the effect you would expect. That's why I said oil companies and government. However the duty and VAT do not fully explain why fuel hasn't come down further in price.
