£14 is a hell of a difference

Deano you spend way too long working out fuel consumption and shit.
But in doing so I don't get hugely stressed about an increase of 30p every fill up.
If you don't look at fuel prices you don't either.

Found a receipt for one of my first fillups (stuffed it in my reciepts book as I got it at the same time as an MOT) and it was £36 - now it's just under £51.

May be you filled up the day before it changed?
tbh people could drive their cars a lot more economically and save as much as 1p on their fuel economy. The amount of drivers I still see flying down the motorways at 80mph is ridiculous. Simply sitting at 70mph will return better economy.

Maybe, still the price sucks though.

It's true though.
I'm just saying how the 3p decrease isn't actually a big deal. And if people were that worried, they should drive more sensibly.

If you don't sit and over analyse the economic benefits of driving more sensibly to save 1 pence then you're in

There's a glass ceiling on driving more sensibly to return economic benefits, 3p decrease is a big deal to me it's the first sign of a petrol price downturn in a market that has been steadily rising consistently for months and months.

true its not much but atleast its not 3p more and they are starting to go down. (hopefully go down more in the next few weeks/months.)

Insurance is a joke, renewed mine yesterday, that's expensive.
My insurance per year is cheaper than one months petrol, now that's a fuckin joke mate.
People can buy slower cars ro get their insurance down. I can't get a car that's cheaper on fuel.

Your like me mate
Guy at work was going on about this today like it was the greatest news ever until I pointed out that he'd only save about 60/70p every time he fills up, he got in a mood after that & went on ranting about the price again

I got better economy sat at 90mph once than I ever have sat at 70, don't ask me why but it happened 
If I was bothered about petrol prices I'd probably calm my driving down a bit but I'm not so I'll continue to have my spirited drives every so often. Never makes a difference anyway
