h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

where do i start?

petrol used to be very cheap when i started driving, im only 21 and it used to be 80p a litre, then it went to £1.20, OMG!!!! but good news, its coming down, and the cheapest in my area (reading, berkshire) is tescos supermarket, the petrol is aroung £1.09p a litre, as is asda too!!

whats everyone elses prices like?????


Tell us!!!!

Hi lordOrchy.

I don't look at the prices any more ... when I need petrol or diesel I just drive into the petrol station and fill up. It is too depressing and to stop myself from getting sad and angry I just fill up. I still use a petrol station where the prices are a few cents cheaper than the area.

well saying all that petrol has got to around £1.13 now at an average

Diesel is around £1.22/23 mark in north London but like Einmoto I'm not going to spend all day driving around to save a few pence - my current average weakly diesel bill is over £120 a week

I don't drive, but the public transport ticket prices have gone waaaaay up - more than would be explained by the fuel price increase.

This question is serious enough for Ask.

It's been going up and down a bit lately. At the moment we're glad when it's 1.42 Euros a litre. It's been over 1.50 at the worst of times.

well even more good news, petrol is now averaged in my area at £1.06 and will still be going down, thats the garage on my road as well. HeHeHe lets hope it goes down a lot more.

Whats other peoples petrol prices @????

good old TESCOS and SHELL - petrol in my area is now 92.9p a litre



woo woo who wants to go for a drive lol

mine's 94.9

still not low enough considering some of the big company's profits over the summer!

yeh i no, its outragous


i remeber years ago wen i was little my dad paying 53p a litre, i wudnt mind tht now :D

I'll be happy with anything in the 80s for at least 6 months tbh.

I just bought filled in my tank for 1.21 Euro a litre (almost 0.98 pounds).

(By the way, it was "Super Bleifrei" - which one is it in English?)

Do you know the octane number?

98 unleaded?

Usually I take the 95, very occasionally 98 (usually before driving back from Reims to Bielefeld).

Filled my tank today at €1.20 per liter. The same gas station lowered prices by one cent to 1.19 two hours later. It's the Thursday low; I expect prices to go up again slightly by Friday noon - they always do From my experience, Tuesday and Thursday are the cheapest days.

Oh, and I am talking Diesel. The gasoline sort of stuff (whatever it is, chemically) is more expensive, ranging from 1.23 to 1.36 or so for Super. Oh, and I am using a no-name gas station which usually weighs in at at least one cent less than the brand gas stations, sometimes up to 10 cent less...

Y.

your lucky, over here in the UK diesal is more expensive the petrol(gasoline)

I agree anything aroung 80p a litre id be happy with, because that was what i was paying when i passed

Current price for unleaded 95 in Cyprus = €0.898. Allowing for the Sterling exchange rate (which is currently dire against the Euro) that makes it around £0.72 a litre.

i wonder if us english can get petrol exported from over there lol

€0.869 today for unleaded 95. It's gradually getting better.

But...

The £GBP to €uro rate has dropped through the floor today, wiping that gain out, since I'm funded in Sterling.

UPDATE:

petrol in the Berkshire area has now come down to 89P a litre


woo hoo lol
