I've just thrown caution to the wind and filled my ZS up at Tescos 103.9p a litre for 95 ron unleaded...... £45

and my van 106.9p per litre for diesel.....£28

I am now proper skint but oh well :laugh:

Woman in Tescos said we have had no letter so they doubt there will be any instruction to raise the price yet...

100.9 here in Sainsburys, but I haven't bought much fuel in 'The North' for ages. Now and again it gets a little 'treat' of BP Ultimate. :) 85.4p in 'The South' is much more attractive.

a barrel of oil went over $100, but Brent Crude - the benchmark we use in the uk - is still sitting at $96 a barrel... so it won't shoot up too quickly. It will be over the $100 mark soon though

Apparently it wasn't really a 'legal trade'. Some guy just wanted to say that he was the first person to buy oil at over $100 a barrel so he bought the minimum number and then sold them on at a loss.

Yeah, maybe... but he did get what he wanted though.

I've got a jar of crude in the garage that came out of anew well we were drilling over the summer, it was the first to come out of the hole. Quite a nice memento to have. Most folk have never seen crude before

Wonder how much it's worth? lol
