Default Price of petrol thread

We have a price of oil thread, I thought it might be useful to have a price of petrol thread too.

My nearest petrol station is selling unleaded for 93p per litre.

Petrol where I live was nearly 95p per litre before Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. I'm thinking of investing in a pony and trap, unless Gordon Brown plans to tax bales of hay!

A month ago I was paying $2.45 a gallon.

On Friday I paid $2.99 a gallon.

I noticed today it seems to be going back down - it was, at most places around the $2.85 a gallon mark.

Yesterday morning I paid 94.9p per litre. Hopefully the price will rise even higher and remove the school run gas guzzlers driven by a woman with a mobile glued to her ear and containing one obese child off the roads.

At some of the petrol stations here (the ones in small vilages) diesel is now the same as petrol - becuase they are both 99.9 and they've run out of digits!

I can't remember what Tesco and Morrison are charging, but diesel was ~95p two weeks ago

It's 99.9p in my nearest petrol station although the paper is saying today that oil prices have dropped again after Katrina so it is unlikely that the national average will rise above £1.00 per litre.

I took my motorbike on a trip to Wales at the weekend and paid 105.9 ppl at one petrol station that wasn't even particularly remote! Couldn't quite believe what I was seeing, I'm only glad it has just an 18 litre tank and does 45mpg!

94.9p a litre in Aldershot this morning, which is $1.60 a litre, or USD7.33 a gallon.

UK average today was reported as 97.9p/litre, with the highest reported being 108.9 somewhere in Scotland!

Don't all the car drivers now wish they'd invested in an LPG conversion or a hybrid vehicle?
