In an attempt to save petrol I’ve turned the engine settings down on my car and set the dash display to show MPG, coasting where possible and slightly reducing pressure on the accelerator, so why do dickheads still drive up your arse, overtake and you still are one car behind them further down the road at a junction or traffic lights.
🤡🤡

When it eventually stabilise and reduces we will be conditioned to thinking 1:65 a litre is cheap

Same with electricity - prices will be through the roof again the winter but there will still be houses covered in Christmas lights any time from 30 October. Mind you - you could nake ale £20 a pint and there'd still ve folk leathered on a Friday and Saturday night. Way some folk are I suppose.

Taxi and lorry drivers included, bombing up to roundabouts and traffic lights and braking late - they could save an actual fortune for the amount of miles they do. There's not much more satisfying than timing a roll up to traffic lights as they turn to green. I often leave supercars in the dust without even accelerating fast! Although I don't think coasting downhill is a good idea. I believe it can actually use more fuel, as the engine thinks the car is idling so draws fuel for that, and staying in gear but without a foot on the accelerator draws less fuel.

I believe it can actually use more fuel, as the engine thinks the car is idling so draws fuel for that, and staying in gear but without a foot on the accelerator draws less fuel. I believe that lifting off the accelerator when in gear as well as lift off deceleration (engine braking) uses virtually no fuel in modern engines. If you have a live mpg monitor in your car, you will notice it maxes out at 99.9 or whatever is higher when you do this. If you coast it will drop to zero.

Driving onto a Tesco petrol forecourt yesterday and the prices changed on the illuminated signs, dropped by 2p a ltr, literally taking the piss and charging what they want and when they want.

Diesel down by another 2p a litre in this bit of Wales now £1.95. No deliveries to speak of.

Don’t know how true this is but my neighbours told me that the company we buy our heating oil from in Whitchurch is selling petrol at £1.66 per litre, allegedly massive queues over the weekend but lots of satisfied customers.
Only a mile or two from us so will ring first then pop over.
Just checked and unleaded is £1.66 massive savings, diesel £1.84

Great by the garage not ripping everyone off. They try to be as cheap as possible. The garage industry are cunts. Quick to raise slow to lower

Whilst fuel is still way too expensive, the prices do seem to be stabilising a little and I’ve not seen any of those mental prices of £2+ anywhere other than on motorway service stations. I’ve been able to get unleaded at £1.86 when it’s recently been hovering around £1.90 plus.

I paid £183.9 in Stafford on Friday night and it felt like a bargain.

Walking through Stevenage last night, nobody seems to care for the cost of fuel with the queues outside the drive throughs at KFC and Macdonalds, there were still queues 2 hours later after the match

www.ftadviser.com/your-industry/2022/07/19/interest-rates-could-hit-2-next-year-says-mpc-member/Interest rates will rise over next 12 months One assumes house prices will fall and the economy will be in recession, though fewer people may be in a position to buy. Possible 1970s austerity, wage demands and inflation? The lack of immigration has led to a shortage in the workforce meaning workers are in a stronger position to demand wage increases in the face of the rising cost of living Next few years will be interesting

On today's prices it will cost us around £1500-2000 to get through winter into summer and we hardly have it on more than 4-5 hours per day in winter

Are the prices beginning to trickle back down a bit now? Albeit very slowly?
BP Viccy Road was £1.75 a litre, Fenton services was £1.73 a litre this morning. Shell in Fenton continue to still be in the £1.80+ region for Petrol though.

Shell in Fenton continue to still be in the £1.80+ region for Petrol though. It’s because of the supermarkets, Asda made the first move and everyone else has followed. Prices should have come down a while ago and should be lower. But a good price war is what’s needed tbh. How quickly they can drop the prices just shows they are profiteering and hanging onto the high prices for as long as they can

Same with energy companies too. It is profiteering. Same with banks and building societies. BoE interest rates go up, they wait weeks sometimes to raise their own savings rates, lending rates go up almost instantly, and vice versa when BoE rates drop. The free market needs more regulating so that it works for ordinary people, not ripping them off to make executives rich and keep shareholders happy, while cutting real investment and services decline.

£4,200 a year. And our PM and Chancellor of the Exchequer are on holiday. Our govt couldn't care less, they claim their energy bills back and are paid by the taxpayer anyway www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-62475171
