Petrol prices
Are these going to start coming down soon, or are they going to keep them artificially high on purpose?
I could fill my tank with just 30 quid a month ago, now it's costing me another 10-15 quid more.
The sooner these electric car prices come down the sooner, then I can stick two fingers up to these forecourts.

Re: Petrol prices
During the lockdown it was below a pound a litre, now it's almost £1.50 isn't that a 50% increase?
Re: Petrol prices
I doubt if the price of petrol or diesel will come down as dramatic as you want.
..... and Sunderland, the underdogs, are in the lead!

Re: Petrol prices
The question should be is this where prices would have been if there was no lockdown?Steve30000 wrote: ↑31 Oct 2021, 17:32Are they trying to make all their profit back?Sunderland Nut wrote: ↑31 Oct 2021, 12:58 During the lockdown it was below a pound a litre, now it's almost £1.50 isn't that a 50% increase?
I don't know but prices automatically go up when fuel goes up.
The worst bit is though that sometimes wages don't go up.

Re: Petrol prices
There are four and a half litres in a gallon so that is about 8p a litre?
I'll have some of that please.
What was that you said again?
