Pleasant suprise on petrol prices !

[mel]

Being one that has never been a great monitor of petrol prices today was one of those days when I filled up and had the pleasant suprise of only being stung 35 quid odd I'm sure it hasn't been this low for ages and on closer inspection the pump prices in my local shell are normal unleaded 67.9 & Optimax 71.9. I'm happy for once things seem to be going in the right direction and all on the day when GATSO's went dayglo Oh if only it was summer as well

Let's thank benladen; without him the price of petrol would not be so low

sh1t i only said it was good to fill up for £35 didn't mean to start this lot. I will admit I hadn't given much thought to why it was cheaper just liked the fact it was. I'll shut up now then.

Hi Mel
well back to the thread ,, 72p a litre what was the peak price for gas then , i know when i come back to blighty just about everything seems crazy expensive but by my calc thats 11-SEK per litre , i think and i will have to check it we are paying around 9-sek litre +- = 60p a litre ,,,, or maybe im pressing the wrong buttons ???,,, i gotta check this out in the morning , can it be so expensive in England now ?? again what the hell was the peak price per litre

Touring in Oz, I could have filled up every day it was so much fun! A whole tank for under £25! I was laughing all the way to the beach! Any Australians on the site, how much is fuel there these days? In fact, why don't we go for a worldwide price comparison on the worldwide web?

it would be interesting to compare Europe wide pricing

[Nick M (nmilton)]

Interesting or depressing ??

[Jason F]

depressing.. Lets face it, our petrol is amongst the cheapest in Europe - Before Tax and then strangely it becomes among the most expensive

[marki]

as to interesting or depressing i guess it would depend on where you live

that's not so simple: I think petrol companies keep their prices (ie excluding VAT) low only with regards to the level of VAT: if VAT was lower they would increase their prices with no mercy, wouldn't they?

Hi Thom
