Yes, I have just seen the local Tesco selling diesel for only* 99.9p per ltr.

If I put 1 ltr in, would I get 0.1p change?

I don't think you can put less than 5 litres in anyway. Ask for your 0.5 pence change in gold.

Yesterday I paid 8.78Kn a litre for 95 ron superurine petrol (86.3p), diesel here is 7.61Kn for the cheap stuff (74.8p). To put this into perspective, the average wage here is 500 quid a month.

Me too. As others have noticed, the car definitely seems more lively since the price has dropped. :lol:

€1.04 per litre for disel here in west of Ireland. Have seen some of the cheaper places at €1.02. Everyone hoping for under a euro.

We now run a Citroen C4 1.6HDi so we drive past most filling stations without a care in the world [/nervous laugh] the Volvo of doom has semi-retired to 80 miles a week or £15.00 of pez.

By the way; the C4 averages 42MPG around town, now I've changed the air filter I'll definitely get 65MPG won't I? :mrgreen:

Just read on the www.
Is it a hoax?
:frown:
That whilst fuel prices are coming down...there planning on adding 5℅ more bio to diesel.
And they're adding more of that other rubbish to petrol.

As part of this New green thing.

Are they trying to kill off Diesel cars?.
