UK Petrol Prices: Isn't this a piece of good news?

Question

Good for Asda and Morrisons! I only hope that other petrol retailers follow their lead. Not only other supermarkets, but also the smaller independents. This is the news UK motroists have been waiting for..

Answer 1

that's only 1p cheaper for our asda it was only ever £129.9 :(

Tesco has already got the 5p of when you spend £50 so that report is not factually correct.

Not that we ever spend £50 on shopping, I am sure it would come to £50 at Sainsbury's tho!!

It would be good news if the Government gave us all a cut in tax on it.... been as they are getting more from the VAT.

Answer 2

Finally! Someone other than me agrees that petrol prices should naturally go up. Why? To cut carbon emissions and make this a cleaner, greener, safer world.

I for on am fed up of hearing about how expensive it is to drive a car. Funny though there are still billions on the bloody roads. Get out and walk people!

Answer 3

they all have price watch in my area, so they all will end up costing the same.

Answer 4

Don't celebrate too early....as soon as the government realises that the price is coming down they'll slap on some more tax.

Answer 5

I've been outside Tesco to see who is getting a taxi, laden with £50 of shopping, asking them for their save 5p a litre coupon.  With a full tank it's a worth it saving.  I don't even like Tesco's but my client shops there occasionally and sometimes goes in for coffee, so if I am passing those who have to give, I ask.   Last time it was two Russian's who I had to smile and sort of sign language to them and they were so sweet.

Answer 6

glad we waited until today to fill up (we usually do it at the weekend)

Answer 7

They should be doing that worldwide.

Answer 8

The price of a barrel of oil has come down - so petrol retailers are not being so generous.
