We moan that it goes up, and then we moan when it goes down.

We know we are heavily taxed but that is the governments fault, not the petrol stations. They're a business and their aim is to make profit.

But 5p isn't enough so lets keep moaning :rolleyes:

Yes because as a nation we are still heavily overtaxed.
The price of diesel more than petrol.

It wont ever go back to that price now.

Fuels expensive, but how much is that bottled Evian water per litre ;)

Good example of a loss leader situation, and psychological marketing almost.

On average I fill up about 30 litres. Saving 3p/litre, that is only 90p every fill up.

Granted, for those that drive a lot and fill up once or twice per week then they will start to see savings.

imho real savings won't be had until it drops below 100p/litre.
