AT LAST! Dropped Petrol Prices!

[ZS]

Petrol below £1 a litre has returned as supermarket Asda dropped the price of unleaded to 99.9p a litre.
.

The cut means a 5p a litre reduction in the price of petrol at Asda pumps, with a litre of diesel falling from 116.9p to 110.9p.
This is the first time since last December that petrol has been under £1 in the UK, with unleaded going over 120p a litre and diesel over 130p during the worst of this year's price rises.
"This is a welcome boost for consumers at a time of economic gloom and high inflation," said Asda spokeswoman Jennifer England.
She went on: "Unlike some of our competitors, our price is constant throughout the country and does not vary from area to area. This reduction will come as a relief to road users."
Supermarket Morrisons said later it had reduced its petrol to 99.9p a litre and cut the price of diesel to 111.9p a litre.
Oil prices slid to their lowest level for nearly 14 months amid concerns that the world economy is heading for a major slowdown.
Light, sweet crude for November delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange (Nymex) was trading more than three dollars lower at 75.10 US dollars a barrel.
Prices dipped as low as 74.97 US dollars at one point, the lowest since the start of September last year.
Last week Prime Minister Gordon Brown said he wanted this price cut to be passed on to consumers "as quickly as possible”

Saw 102.9 yesterday... will check asda on way home tonight as well!! Going the right direction though!

Well there's a surprise:blink: didn't expect to see it below £1 ever again.
I wonder if diesel will ever get below petrol again.:happy2:

[meat-and-gravy]

Should only be a matter of time before all supermarkets follow suit, a lot of the major petrol stations around here have dropped to around the £1.07 - £1.08 mark. Economists are touting that in a couple of months all petrol will be noticably under the £1 barrier. Lets just hope other "every day" items will follow in the price drop. They need to too!

[stamford]

It should be sub £1.00 per litre as the price of a barrel is so low at present.

Only too quick to increase the prices to cover their 'losses' but never by return when the cost per barrel drops, greedy bastards.

How did that get through the filter.:laugh: (must be true)

[rbull51]

The cheapest i have seen in birmingham at the moment is 103.9..... i am looking out for the first 99.9 here...

[SharronB]

^ Ooo a slap on the wrist for stamford lol

Good! we might all be able to go off in our cars now :laugh:

[Phate]

I bet the ZS will go back up in price now people can afford to run them again :p

I put £30 worth of V-Power in today at 108.9 - Boo yah :cool2:

[Maxxed_Ross]

Falkirk is usually the cheapest (in Scotland anyway) and lowest I've seen is a 104 at the local Esso station. Tesco and Asda around here anyway are still around 106 107

[grimmy]

it's been 102.9 in cumbernauld for a few days now in the shell garage.ironically asda is still 105.9

[ZS B19LYB]

went past morrisons in coventry today on the way to uni on the holly head road and it was 103.9 then on the way home thought i would fill up and it had gone down to 99.9 within 2 hours lol great stuff.

[Maxxed_Ross]

I'm off to fill the Zed!

[stamford]

Not seen or heard sub £1 as yet, best was Shell at £102.9 on the pump readout even though the pump tickets and signage still read £105.9.

you sure its always more expensive than over here, even though its made outside your front door. All the places over here are 99.9 as of tonight. How annoyed am i filling up at 102.9 this morning!

[stamford]

Tell you what I noticed this morning whilst driving the 35 miles into work, seems that alot of cars are now driving a little bit faster rather than being a little reserved as before. False economy, oooo cheaper fuel therefore I can open it up a bit, but use just as much as before.

I'll stick to making the zed go as far as I can so can enjoy the weekends more.

We're getting to even figures at the pumps, £1s spent=litres in tank.

[arwilson80]

I filled up a few times last week at about 0.47 / 0.48 a litre. :whistle:

400 miles on £25 of 'gas' = :D

[stamford]

I didn't know you had a gas conversion Alan.

[ZS]

One of the Morrisons in Bristol is doing, for ONE DAY ONLY, petrol at 91.9p per litre.... yes 91.9p!! :happy2:

Shame it'll cost a tank of fuel to get there and another to get back for me... :(

[arwilson80]

I didn't know you had a gas conversion Alan.

I don't... It's me that's undergoing the 'conversion'.:offtopic:

[stamford]

:slap: of course duh!

[mrt_04]

Filled up near LHR last night for 98.7p....................and they are still making a very greedy profit :w00t:

[Glen290]

Just need road tax to come down and then there wont be a mad rush of 180s for sale again

heh, true that. Wonder if the value of them will go back up a bit?

[Stuart]

More than likely the fuel costs will go back up soon enough,

I say enjoy it while you can.

[Maxxed_Ross]

yeah crude is quite low just now which is helping

[Phate]

Shell was 99.9 yesterday \o/

[LJ_]

My local Shell is 98.9 "yes"

[Maxxed_Ross]

Happy days

[stamford]

Yep! I paid 97.9 this morning as well, could drop more they say :D

[arwilson80]

I put some in it last night at 99.9p... but only enough to last me until the price was dropped again.

[mikesezgreen]

When the price was at it's highet, everyone was on at the government to reduce the tax hike on fuel, but now the price has come down, people don't seem to bothered anymore.

I bet if we were to fill in Spain it would be around 80 - 85 pence per litre - money grabbing bastards i say...

[rbull51]

i have seen a garage in birmingham for 97.9..

[arwilson80]

i have seen a garage in birmingham for 97.9..

Yep. That's the norm as of this morning. :)

[ZS]

In Newton Abbot, a Place called "Trago mills" to be precise, the current price of Petrol is 95.9p Per litre!

[darrenshaw]

97.9 at tesco in hull

[rbull51]

lets hope the price keeps falling for a while yet, you never know, pigs might fly after all!!!!! (maybe 89.9 if we are very very lucky)

[Maxxed_Ross]

I've not seen petrol in the 80p bracket since not long after I started driving, so that would be great! We just need good old diesel to get below £1 now!
