Brenzett Shell A259 149.9

BP New Romney A259 147.9

Drop in barrel prices takes a looooooong time to filter through here!

Could it be that any drop in the price per barrel is being off set by the fall in the value of the pound?

I cant be arsed looking up the actual figures but I can tell you that yesterday I got $1.48 to the pound and about a month ago was $1.52.
Not a huge difference but a drop in the £'s value all the same.

That's the point. Oil is traded in USD but sold to us in GBP. Currency fluctuations will have an effect on forecourt price.

This lot are worth following in my view:

http://www.fairfueluk.com/

They have some high profile representatives and are conducting a very professional campaign. The more who get behind them, the more clout they'll have.

the pounds down against the dollar but that helps our exports (makes em cheaper)

oiil is but one aspect

the USA is now regaining jobs lost to China, Chinese wages are rising, USA wages are not and shipping costs have risen....

More MPG than the Morrisons [edited by admin]. What people don't understand is putting cheap fuel in will get you less MPG.
