Missus is taking a trip back soon - need to steel myself for the horror of filling up a hire car.
Prices are dropping here right now, any sign of the same over there?

I assume that "over there" means the UK.
Can't give you the spot price as it is today, but 10 UK gallons weighs in at about 50 quid, so a fiver per UK gallon puts you in the right ball park.
Isn't made any easier that they dispense fuel in litres but measure distance and speed using miles.
Bring back imperial measurements I say. At least petrol was cheaper when dispensed by the gallon. Those ruddy metric pumps are obviously more expensive to run.... -
The Labour Government is no longer in power. The new coalition has cut petrol prices to 40 pence per litre. VAT is now only 5%. Contractors have the first £20 of tax free and any earnings above that can be taken in dividends. Corporation tax is 10%.Originally posted by gadgetman View Post"A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

Woot, I've obviously not been keeping up with the changes since the election, thanks for the info.Originally posted by Paddy View Post
Diesel was 1.17 a litre a couple of days back. Don't follow petrol sorry, but Paddy says 40p a litre.Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.Comment

38 per a litre near me, but the Esso garage is 42p. Such a rip off. Tesco's is doing a BOGOFF on Diesel but again I don't use it so not sure of the price.Originally posted by Scrag Meister View PostWoot, I've obviously not been keeping up with the changes since the election, thanks for the info.

To the OP. It's £1.14 - £1.20 per litre of Petrol. Very expensive. Vat is still 17.5% and going to 20% in the New Year.
Not sure why the posters above are trying to mislead you, very childish.Comment

That is a communist propaganda newspaper. Petrol has been sold in gallons ever since the Conservatives won the election.Originally posted by MayContainNuts View Post"A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment
