Just noticed it's in the £1.90s down here.

Petrol is in the low £1.50s at the cheapest stations.

Madness. :?

My fuel cards down to £1.22 and 1.24 a litre plus vat, things are going the right way again, last week they were £1.34 and £1.36 plus VAT. 12 p a litre is a big drop in one go. I use the local motorway service area where the pump price for diesel is about £1.96 a litre including vat. It shows how much profit they are making.
