You mean petrol? is this per litre?

 

[holyintellect]

Per gallon....and its back up to $3.19 today...

holy

 

[corsaking]

in the Uk i bought some today at £1.06 per litre Not sure of the exchange rate but its close to 2$ to the £! .Based on that assumption its 2$ a litre so think your self lucky if its $3.19 to the GALLON

 

[TruffleShuffle]

Corsaking, see my post earlier up this thread (post #14)

The tax the UK govt gets forms the greater portion of the price Carnt remember how much exactly , then the petrol company get their share, then the retailer .The annoying part is that when oil prices go up it soon filters down to the pumps, yet when they come down prices at the pumps are slow to respond,Usually supermarkets take the lead. We are experiencing low petrol prices at the moment , it has been higher at £1.17 per litre and motorway service stations selling it at £1.25 per litre. The price has a knockon effect because hauliers transport costs go up , the increase is passed to the consumer especially when it comes to food.

 

[Fastone]

Between 3.30 and 3.40 in my area. About 10 miles west or east in New Jersey it drops 10-15 cents.

:bruce3:

 

[j4ever]

since last post most places now between 2.90-2.95

Remember oil is priced in USD. The USD has gained a lot against the GBP in the last two weeks so the drop in the price of oil has almost been offset by the weaker pound. Fortunately for me the GBP is now killing the aussie dolllar, perfect time to send some cash home.

 

[TruffleShuffle]

Its dropped a few pence round here recently though, cheapest i've seen it is £1.03 for regular (95 ron) or £1.07 for premium (99 ron). (both per litre).

I havent checked the price of 102 ron. it's always been stupidly expensive and pretty much a waste of money unless your car is mapped for it.

(blimey just checked online and perhaps the reason US petrol is so cheap is cause you drive on "limp wristed fairy liquid" :rofl: )

what are you trying to say?

 

[corsaking]

what are you trying to say?

I thought there was talk sometime ago of breaking links with the monarchy-just wondered where you stood on this

 

[Australian made]

Their was talk of becomming a republic but people voted against it. We like to dominate the commonwealth games too much.

 

[moklepaul]

$5.20 for premium yesterday

Premium in Canada being between 91 and 93 octane, fwiw.

 

[corsaking]

the way to bring prices down is not to buy so much.When the oil companies have excess stock, prices usually fall .i used the bus the other day to go to my nearest city=it wasnt so much the cost of fuel , it was the cost of parking for a couple of hours-too much

 

[Otter_Wife]

south Jersey is $2.75, as of 10-13-08 it was 2.79 yesterday, so hopefully it will drop some more tomorrow!

I think the White House are making a further statement today .Analysts are hoping for another rise in shares.

Credit has been too easy to get here in the UK Not sure about Oz but you could get a mortgage on a property of 5 X your salary , you can buy a car with Nil deposit and the rest spread over 5 years, you can walk down a typical high street and get a store credit card just showing a utility bill or driving licence, so on a typical high street , you could buy clothes on credit, tv on credit, computer on credit furniture on credit all in one day,I think this must be related in someway to the mess we are in financially

Our interest rates are a few points higher but credit has been easily attainable the past few years. A mortgage 5 times your salary is nothing, in Sydney anyway, house prices are way overpriced, only now are they coming down a notch.

Im in the UK now as well. I know what you mean. Consumer debt is sky high all over though, most people don't respect money, they like to blame pollys and the big bad investment bankers for the economies issues when the general public are just as much to blame due to their lack of knowledge on even simple commerce issues.
