Oil reached an 8 month low yesterday at $105 a barrel.

That should equate to around £1.07 a litre.

Anyone paying that yet? :?

I think it was being sold at 23.9 until some barsteward mentioned how cheap it was

I think you’re getting mixed up with the 'Last stop' filling station in Crouch End.

They gave away £20'000 worth of fuel last Friday morning. My mate Norm (London cabbie) went along, an hour later he had £40 worth of free fuel so I guess it was worth the wait.

Unfortunately the local residents and Police didn’t see it that way as the whole area descended into gridlock and folks fighting. :sad:

The last time oil was in the high $90s a barrel in February 2008, the UK average fuel prices per litre were;

Petrol 104.0, Diesel 109.3
