Petrol - Good news - price is going down

[Big Jeff]

Average petrol prices have fallen below 150p a litre for the first time since Russia invaded Ukraine last February, the AA motoring group says.
Pump prices hit a record 191.53p a litre in July, as global oil prices surged, but by Monday had fallen back to 149.74p.
The AA said it was "a huge relief for drivers" but noted diesel prices were still higher than last year.

Driving in NI back in September and it was about 30p a litre cheaper than it was here. Looking at this though Compare latest petrol and diesel fuel prices | The AA it doesn't look like it's shifted much over there while we've seen the price drop.

Hurrah! Inflation and prices will fall too ….

Gas, electric and food all need to drop asap as it's crippling many of us financially currently.

Diesel still seems to be staying high though. Used to be about 10p more expensive than petrol, closer to 25p higher now

I know it's quite important to some people but I'm tired of people starting conversations about bloody petrol prices. One bloke I see fairly regularly does it every time, even though I never show any interest.

Any former forecourt owners can let us know what they gross per litre ?
In kent we are still paying over £1.80 for diesel
I paid £1.62 in lanchester. It’s a massive difference and someone is getting very fat out of it. It should be govt controlled.

Near me, I noticed it had fallen to 173p before Christmas. Looks like another penny has come off that since. Need to get that below 150p a litre.

The graph on UK pump prices over time is interesting and shows what you say, the big gap between the two. It was only 77p a litre in 2008, so well over double that now. People's wages have not doubled.

Prices going up were blamed on the war in Ukraine by the Tories, as far as I'm aware its still ongoing ,so why are the prices dropping then ?

Price of Brent crude oil has dropped considerably since the war started - below $80 a barrel this morning

Let’s hope this price drop is swiftly followed by a drop in energy prices.

They are urgently needed.
