? i dont follow the prices that much... are they going up again?

[Kelv]

Sounds about the same as what ours have been at for a fair while!

[Rippers]

Great site found some slightly cheaper stations

[Rolls]

currently hovering at just over $44 / bbl for brent - so has increased slightly from when it was at its lowest!

[jeardley]

tbh the best thing for the economy would be to put prices back up to £1.15 and take advantage of the increased margins.

People still bought the fuel, winged for a bit, but everyone still bought it. It would do the economy the world of good.

Need to think long term rather than saving a couple of quid short term.

Stick to what you know mate

[F12NCO]

He does have a point gents...........

Its all well and good dropping prices here, there and everywhere but people don't think of profit margins! If you dont keep an eye on profit margins, suddenly you don't have the money to cover your overheads because the profit you had hidden last year has suddenly vanished..............then you start tightening the belts, and we all know what that means!!

All for a lower rate of selling

I'd put fuel back up for private use but at the same time let the Hauliers run on red for 3 years. Wouldn't do any harm at all.



With the price of oil where it is now it would help the

economies

recovery whilst at the same time not crippling the countries supply chain.
