£1.34p/l

[beyond the blue]

Just filled up at Asda £1.34p/l. Finally heading in the right direction!

[Mr Vlad]

WOW I can't remember fuel at that price. Well done Asda. 

[Las Palmas]

Yes! 1.48€ L Shell super etc. 98 octanes.

[Linas.P]

Crude oil as at ~$78/barrel... when crude was at similar price:

October 2021 - £1.36

September 2014 - £1.29

June 2010 - £1.17

September 2009 - £1.05

August 2007 - £0.94

Surely... the price of crude oil isn't everything, but fuel is commodity so should at least somewhat correlate! As such I reckon somebody is still making crazy profits from this!

Costco is always the cheapest it seems but can be a wait to fill up although trafford seemed ok.

Oldham is always a nightmare.

[Las Palmas]

be thankful I don't take it all

 

[Mr Vlad]

Costco the cheapest? But don't you have to be a member? Not everybody can join, I know my profession isn't included in who can join. 

[Malc1]

my local'ish Tesco E10 is at 138.9p plus points of course .  about 1p a ltr ?  Gillingham Kent

The other local Tesco's pricing is 148.9p to match the local cartel of BP and  Morrisons ....  crooks the lot of 'em eh !

@Mr Vlad

Yes you have to be a member but worthwhile. 

[Dippo]

It's the difference in price around the country that annoys me. Last week I was in Chester. and filled up at Morrisons - £1.399. Back to London, and the price at Tesco the next day was £1.499. That's around 55p per gallon difference!

Well if you're  going to revert back to gallons then it's an 11 shilling difference 🙂

Queues out onto the road at Costco Reading yesterday evening. Took about 15 minutes to get in, at £1.37 a litre for unleaded.

Off topic but worth a watch! 😆

Younger members should note that ‘Nationwide’ was a BBC light news programme, broadcast every evening…sort of a 1970s version of ‘The One Show’ albeit I’m sure it was prior to the evening news rather than after it. Could be wrong, my memory isn’t what it was in 1973…

I was at school at the time of the change over, and my Headmaster (who was a genial old chap, very old school) refused to teach the metric system. I can vividly remember him telling the school, after questions from parents, that “…this foreign nonsense will never catch on, and there is no need to teach it.”

Quite. Different times!

@First_Lexus

If you don't have time or patience to wait then forget it.

Trafford this past Sunday was a nightmare!!!!!!

Been going there myself for petrol - I think they will need to re-think the entrance into the car park as the fuel station queue stops anyone else getting in who isn't getting fuel... 

[Mr Vlad]

OMG that brought back some memories Ed. Nationwide on the tele. Oh happy days. Can't for the life of me remember that presenters name but what a guy. 

Not noticed fuel prices of late. Will have a mouch to asda tomorrow and have a look.
