ATM Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) I just bought some petrol from Tesco for 113.9 per litre. That's seriously cheap. I hope it keeps going down or stays here. It's hard to really enjoy it in this weather. My car is a serious handful even with Winter tyres. I've been looking at X5's - missing my old S4 with quattro.

xs2man Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 That's cheap. Shame there is people losing their jobs in the Oil industry as a result of the low oil prices though. Sonar Daddy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuBeeDoo Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Cheap would be back to the 75p or so I was paying in 2005. Cheap would be the 78p per gallon I was paying in '79. Mind, that was expensive after the 35p/gallon I remember from around '73/74. (For those who don't relate to gallons, 35p/gallon = 7.7p/litre and 78p/gallon = 17.2p/ltr) sag2 and Trevor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momo Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Prices spiked because oil was around $100 per barrel. Now it's at $50 per barrel but prices still high. Tbh though not sure whats holding the prices up as oil companies only make like 20-25% of the price per litre or something like that.. The rest of it is tax and the tax on the tax, then the tax on the tax of the tax which is taxed again. lol. Diesel is down to around £1.20 a litre here. Still nothing compared to when I was in Egypt in 2012 - 10p a litre! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilferco Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 When it was $100 a barrel i paid the equivalent of £38 to brim a Ford Escape (Kuga here in the UK). The yanks must be loving it now its even cheaper over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pirate1066 Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 The chaps in the city who buy and sell even have the tankers sit off at anchor till prices rise to make more money and doing so can make prices stay high at pumps,government dont tell that on news at ten. momo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
