Talking 83p by Christmas

They'll be practically giving it away soon


Must present problems for the likes of Supervox, knowing when to fill his supertanker & then they drop the price again

The only factor stopping petrol being 75p at the moment is the strength of the £........which is slowly improving. So you never know we could be back at 1999/2000 prices before we know it.

The first one is easier to read, but not live prices only up to the day before. Wish the BBC would offer a view inbetween 24 Hrs & 3 months

I paid 90.9 from shell in mk yesterday. Good but still would like to see it lower considering the price of oil.

I think the Tories have a pretty good idea in that when prices drop, they keep them up creaming off the extra tax and when they go up, they lower the tax and benefit from the money that they made when prices were low.

I read the other day that we've got about another 40 yrs of oil left. What happens when its all gone? What about all the products that are made using oil?
