Petrol Prices - BP announcement

[alnug]

Dont know if anyone has heard the news today but BP is reducing petrol prices by 2p as a concequence of lower oil prices!!!

Does anyone think that the latest mail protest about boycotting BP and Esso reached someone at BP?? obviously something has happened for them to take this cut and I recommend we stick with the original plan of holding out on BP and ESSO until they lower prices futher!

Theyll just bump it up by a couple of pence of the next month and no one will complain, just like they did before!

 

[telford_mike]

Asda have announced that all their stations will charge less than 80p a litre for diesel & unleaded from today.

 

[alnug]

yes thats why we need to hold out on using BP and ESSO and pass the message around until they cut the prices down substantially and pass the message along to all your mates

 

[kingJimBob]

Well done BP!

 

[norfolkminis]

My local Safeway lowered theirs 2p last week when everyone else went up 2p.

 

[blink172]

balls to BP, its like there doing us a favour when asda charge <80p

 

[matt the cat]

I am paying 82p for super. mwuahahaha

 

[Don]

The Asda near me only does normal unleaded, rather than super...

I stick to Sainsburys, I know its only 97Ron, but its better for the old 172 than normal.

Check http://www.aapetrolbusters.comwww.aapetrolbusters.com and see if they have details of the cheapest petrol for you.

 

[geordieclio]

dont bp charge 2p more than everyone else anyway they do up here

 

[Daipac]

Tesco are around 80.9p for unleaded around by me so I am sure they will lower the prices too if Asda do it.

too true, Optimax only for me !

plus why should be boycott BP and Esso, its the government who make all the money the petrol companies make bugger all in the grand scheme of things, yes they are minted, but there HUGE worldwide companies

im so happy, i filled up the tank, and a spare can or two at 79.9p per litre today!

 

[Balders]

86.9p in Leeds for Optimax (near JCT600 - grrr, I really do hate that place!) - filled it up to the brim.

 

[badinvincible]

all the folk that fill to the brim, does the extra weight no knock on your fuel consumption? i only ever put half a tank in

 

[Ally]

I always brim it - cos I never know where Ill be able to get Optimax next! Ive never really noticed an effect on fuel consumption but then Ive never measured consumption from a half-full tank. 1 litre of fuel weighs approx 1 kg (using the density of water as a rough guide), so a full tank will add approx 50kg to a dry car weight.

I paid 86.9p for Optimax the other day - is that cheap? I didnt think so. Unleaded was 81.9p in the same garage (Shell Stirling). Cmon Shell, get your prices down too!

 

[h3lter]

its only 2 f**kin pence! its gone up about 6 and dropped 2! oh yay! it was too high in the first place

 

[h3lter]

its all 79.9 rnd by me now!

 

[kieron]

BP only dropped thier price due to the super markets dropping their petrol by 2p per litre i dont think it has anything to do with the boycot, but petrol prices are a joke and will keep going up over the next few years, looking forward to the time when it hit £1 per litre, but to be fair on the petrol companys its not all their fault, blame mr blair and his men for charging us over 85% tax on the stuff

the super markets get there petrol from BP or SHELL refinerys so either way they are WINNERS!!!
