BP in 'giant' new oil discovery

Woohoo!! Time to buy a gas guzzler! And what has this done to the price of crude oil? It's gone up

[Welly]

Petrol's up 2p a litre yesterday and we're already seeing the return of the que's to get some at the old price

Apparently we can expect another 3p in Jan (when the VAT goes back to 17.5%) and another 5p? in April

I'm feeding mine on V-PowAh at the mo and that's 109p/ltr just under £5.00 per gal

I did my 707 mile V6 tank on German V-Powah... bloody good stuff (although I have no direct comparison with BT Ultimate yet). I was tempted to try the V-Powah "Racing", but it was considerably more expensive

Wish there were a Shell near me, but as it is I've had to exclude it from all my fuel trials

i thought petrol and diesel the vat was left at 17.5% and not lowered to 15% cos im sure i remember the newspapers picking up on it at the time

Good point, I'm sure fuel's still at 17.5%. Doesn't mean the garages won't leap at the opportunity to add another few pence since everyone's expecting it anyhow

[Welly]

Ahem......

[Doggy]

Very enlightening, just a few questions:

1. What paper can you buy for 20p?
2. Can I have the other 8 digits off your Visa card, please? (Bit skint cos I was late coming home & only got one tankful at French prices, [ €0.999 / £0.88 per litre])

[steve_earwig]

By the way, can't be asked to start another thread but what do you reckon this is about? Is it a special edition only available to Croatia?

[Doggy]

Not sure Steve, but I want one, (at least the badge).

Similarly, I spotted a D9 saloon in Brugge, wiv wot looked like coupe levvers etc. badge on the wing said 'Zenith'

Number 1 = Strangely, Mrs Welly was peering over at the news stand whilst I was filling up and ordered me to buy a copy of the 'Star' which was on offer at 20p. I explained that the publication depicted some nudity and dubious journalism but she insisted

Number 2 = No.

@ Wiggy 23% 'stopa' eh? what's 170.36 Kilo newtons in GBP? and how many Litros was is what you got.

[steve_earwig]

It's an old bill and there's other stuff on it including a bottle of gas. Current INA prices Diesel at 7,07 works out at 84.18p/litre (average wage here is 500 quid a month)

Funnily enough, I bought one of the ta... what am I saying? I bought the tabloid the other week, mainly because the front page had something about a human head being found in a discarded freezer on a rubbish tip.

No peas?

No peas?

Just the usual diced carrots and tinned peach slice...
