OBR predicts we are about to experience the biggest fall in living standards on record: twice that which resulted from the 1st 'oil shock' of 1970's!

6p off a litre won't make a lot of difference.

Today, I got just over 2 litres o' t'best stuff from Haydock Island for £4.02 (I only wanted £4's worth, but over-ran by 2p! )

Even Lord Browne, former CEO of BP has gone on record to state that a windfall tax on the oil Co's would be justified in present circumstances!

I don't think Suni boy is on our side.

If what you say is correct, there will be a few getting rid of their 4 x 4's and German high performance petrol guzzling cars.

Whups,

Labour politicians are no different, remember 'two jags'

A number of people being interviewed for TV have said that their retailer simply put the price up ahead of the announcement, so that price then goes back to what it had been, and they rather than customer reap the benefit of the duty cut.

Have not filled up, so not personally observed.

All i would like to know is this ,Do we all recall a few weeks back when there was an alleged petrol & diesel shortage and most garages were running out then at that time the pump price's were about £1.30 per litre and diesel was about £1.35 per litre , then it hit the roof by some 20/30 pence a litre going on , there was NO real explanation as tond even peaked to around £1.60 per litre £ 1.65 for diesel . Now today 24th of MA why it happened . When things settled the price's never went back down to where they were before . They have gradually stayed aRCH 2022 we have had this hypocrite of a chancellor attempting to be generous by reducing the price's of petrol and diesel by a derogatory 5p pence , when in real terms to get back to where we were at the start he should have reduced by some 25/30 pence per litre. So again i ask the simple question WHY ,WHY . GB.

The answer is debt, or the interest payments on debt. This financial year UK debt repayments will be around £40 billion. More than is spent on education or defence.

Asda is down to £1.58.9 for petrol. Some have yet to reduce their prices.
