Somewhat to my surprise, I’ve just paid £1.33.9/l for standard unleaded at Sainsbury’s.
That’s only 13p/l more than before the orange turd kicked off Iran.

That’s a great price. It’s more than that here, but I’m surprised that the price hikes haven’t been greater given the percentage hike in crude oil prices. Diesel drivers are getting the biggest hit, but still well below the oil price movement. I suspect that it will get worse before it starts to get better.

I’d have got the PHEV Tiggo 8, but we can’t have a charger due to no parking.

Really pleased to get a full tank of petrol for £60.00 today…
Granted it was for the lawnmower but I’m trying to keep positive.
