Petrol set for £1 litre.

Postby jdcarra » Sun May 27, 2007 2:36 pm

Reading todays Sunday Mail, £1 per litre within weeks,experts warned yesterday. Edmund King, of the RAC Foundations, said prices started to edge up 10 days ago and could break the £1 barrier in two or three weeks.

How wrong he is, come to the real world.

And it has risen very fast. I think it was only about 6 or 8 weeks ago it was down to $1.99 a gallon here. And now $3.00.

I always get my diesel at Mcnairs, it usually is a few pence cheaper.

It's not that much cheaper down here in the Midlands. Supermarket unleaded is 96.9p per litre, though I pay 103.9p for BP Ultimate diesel.

I remember driving up to Campbeltown in the 80's when petrol had gone over £2 per gallon. It used to be way more expensive in Campbeltown compared to most other places, though now it seems to have levelled out.

Just tried to work it out and I'm paying $8.97 per imperial gallon (not sure what the calculation is to convert to US gallons).
