I was wondering if we would have seen a decent fall in pump prices before now as wholesale fuel prices dropped back in April by 7%.
So far we havent seen any drop to write home about. My local station went from 139.9 to 138.9 - big deal!
The good news is that ASDA are apparently dropping their forecourt prices to £134.7p a litre for unleaded maximum. i tihnk this kicks in today or tomorrow.
I wonder where we would be without the supermarkets to be honest. If they werent around to compete against Shell, Esso BP Total etc I get the feeling we would all be on our backs, legs in the air wide apart!
Really ticks me off to think that had the wholesale price gone up yesterday then by today youd have a little guy on his ladder changing the prices outside the petrol stations.
I have signed up to Fair Fuel for the UK campaigne but it barely has 250,000 people sign up out of over 33 million drivers - less than 1%. Everyone moans yet nobody really seems to want to do anything about it.
How happy would we all be now if petrol was a £1 a litre? Remember how up in arms we all were when it broke the £1 barrier? Everybody just takes it on the chin thinking they cant do anything about the ridiculous percentage of tax we pay on every litre. Its not really the cost of the oil-its the rising cost of the tax the government get every time oil goes up a penny.
enjoy the new asda prices because come august we are due 3p a litre to be added again by the government. it stinks and fuel costs are beginning to kill our economy.
