Petrol Prices

Featured Replies

Hi guys,

As you recently noticed, petrol price is going down. Its not a secret that oil prices went down per barrel. Every news service says about it. In Southampton average green is 1.24 black 1.29 Some say petrol can go down to below 1 pound this year. If thats the case I regret I got myself diesel Fiesta last week.

Anyone heard anything more abot this ? Spoken with Shell guy today when filling up the tank and he is convinced it will drop below 1 gbp.

Around £1.22 for petrol here.

Can't see it dropping below a quid again...be nice if so!! I can merely weep when filling up lol

£1.29 up here! It is going down.......slowly!

Will it go under a quid? Probably not but at least it's going the right way ;)

Cheapest I've seen is Shell at £1.21 2p less than all the supermarkets. Even v-power has come down to £1.33 now.

Can anyone remember when petrol was last less than £1 I can't it's that long ago.

I remember Dad filling up the car and moaning about it reaching something silly like 53ppl lol

I remember when it went up to a £1 a gallon!!! :o :unsure::wacko::blink:

50p a GALLON when I started driving and a man filled it for you!

Was a pound a litre when I started driving in 2009...

My 1.4 petrol was doing 45mpg and 10 pence a mile.

Now I own a modern 1.6 diesel doing nearly 60mpg but still the same ppm! :(

I can't see it dropping to a pound again anytime soon though!

We were speaking about this at work the other day. On the island I grew up on a little old lady, who you would have thought the next gust of wind would knock her over, pumped the petrol for you. She always had a conversation with whoever she was serving.

One day, can't remember why, I had to pump my own petrol. I was knackered half way through and there was no way I could carry out a conversation at the same time! Needless to say my respect for her went up after that :)

When I started driving it was around 90p/ltr.

Now my local shell is 1.22p/ltr for standard green then another 9p or so for the nitro.

Filled up with nitro last time but not sure if it's really worth it or not.

Sainsburys in Staines is 1.20 95, and 1.23 for Super at the moment.

Grimsby Asda: 120.7 for petrol and 122.7 for Diseasel

wish it was cheaper a remember when ma dad used to fill up a tenner a week and now a go throu 25-30 a week lol hope it does go down in america ma mate said he can get a gallon for like 2 dollars or something :/

Vrt is supposed to be getting scrapped as it breaks EU law but no sign of that happening yet anyway

God, I feel old!

When I started driving( in a Hillman Avenger!) petrol was 49p a gallon and even then we whinged about how dear it was when it went up to 50p. Mind you it was 1974 and I was 17. Crikey, that was a loooooong time ago. :-)

It's just dropped to 121p here.
