Fuel price goitng down tomorrow
Jump to: Newest in thread
Asda's dropping 3p a litre from tomorrow, so anyone needing - not quite - to fill up, could well do with waiting, as other stores probably will follow.
129.7 unleaded 134.7 diesel - these should be maximum prices, so may be different elsewhere.
Just a heads up - realise it's not a huge saving, but if putting 50 litres in, it's £1.50 saved, which is almost a sandwich instead etc. |

Diesel was 136.9 at Morrisons in Tamworth this afternoon, I will watch and fill up later in the week, it's always a good price there cos it is near the Kingsbury oil terminal |

Our two local garages have been at this price since last Thursday. One of them is the Waitrose garage, so looks like Asda has put off the reduction as long as possible! They have as big if not bigger buying power as Waitrose and I would imagine they must be paying the same! Just seeing how long motorists would wear it! |

Agree - I often use the Tamworth filling stations, as they largely seem well priced there. Asda there is handy, even if the traffic with those islands there can get crazy.
They've said they're cutting 3p, though whether that is 3p at each store, or 3p off their main national price I'm not so sure - I don't work for them, or in fuel.

"Tesco also cutting by 3p tomorrow."
if tesco and adsa have confirmed this...sainsburys won't be far behind...
my biggest beef with sainsburys.. is that one closet to where I live sells it petrol at 2p per litre more expensive than the one closest to where I work....
in my car on a full tank it is only 90p... but it is the point |

It's kind of ironic that all fuel going to the respective "brand name" filling stations whether in suoermarket chains or not, all comes from the same supply point!
The differently liveried fuel tankers all usually belong to one of a small number of operators, their delivery costs are usually in line with each other, so any fluctuations in prices are down to the individual Sales point, that is, on the forecourt and whoever operates it. |

How is that so because a few years ago there was that problem with the silica in the petrol and it only affected a couple of brands |

A big deal made about 3p off the price of fuel goes a long way to assauging the anger towards petrol companies but they know full well they'll add on 1/2p here and 1/2p there over the next few months and you won't see it creeping back up.
Hello 145p, how is your August today? |

It's sad that we are all happy with a 3p per litre off the price.
Prices went up so much quicker than down and we all just put up and shut up.
Still I 'm kind of glad I didnt fill my car up yet, and know what I will be doing tomorrow  |

I've just driven past Morrisons and petrol is down, but only by 2p and it's now only at 129.9 (It's always dearer over the weekend here anyways)
Guess they think we cant add up or they are waiting until a minute to midnight to get the most out of us  |

someone did make a fair and valid point...
in the pass couple of weeks the price of oil has come down by about 25%, the petrol retailers have now pass on about 5% of that...
they are very quick to put the price up when oil goes up... not so quick to pass it back when it goes down... |

It may have come down by 25% but so much is tax at the pump 5% is nearer 20% when you take the tax off. |

The govt are not going to force down the price of fuel, nor lower the taxes levied on it. Why would they when they're trying to curb a deficit big enough to run a small country on. |

Because high taxes is not always the best way to collect the most in tax. If businesses are struggling then less profit is made and less paid in tax. Reducing costs and making it more economically viable to compete with over seas companies. Sometimes a reduction in tax can actually bring more in. |

The average motorist will pay more in daily fuel taxes than business fuel usage. We all know how large corporations fiddle their taxes and paying a very low % of what they should. |

No they don't fiddle they stick to the rules in the main and if they don't then they will be prosecuted for tax evasion. |

Now that's dreamland and no mistake as the average domestic mileage is 10k a year and business mileage near 3 times that.  |

Er.. you've missed the point.. there are many many more private motorists than those do it for a living. |

Vodafone is a prime example of tax evasion, albeit legal tax evasion. Shell & BP are rife with it too. |
