Cost of petrol in the UK approaching £1 a litre, for the first time since 2016

That said, the pump price cuts in March were dramatic.More than 9p came off the average price of unleaded in the month while the price of diesel was down by nearly 8p.

But hopes of it crashing through the £1 barrier remain in some doubt after the oil-producing countries' organisation Opec was reported to be working on restricting production.The rumour pushed oil prices up more than 20% in one day at the beginning of April. "Indeed, if the supermarkets were to more fully reflect the huge reductions in wholesale prices, we would certainly sell see unleaded sold for under £1 per litre, something they last did in March 2016."

Typical when I’m not using the car 😂😂

Wahoo! Cheaper to get to work now.

Filled up this week just because.

Has the SNP commented on this news? Out of interest. The Nats based their whole argument on $100 pb oil. What would of happened if Scotland had independence? Who would of bailed them out?

Great timing while many don’t need it!

Where?

Typical joke as we are on lockdown

Heads to £1 per litre? It's worth 45pence a litre? With tax! What are you raving about? bbcyourquestions

Uckin typical when we Carnt go anywhere

Sod it im off to buy 5 cars so I can panic buy cos I missed out on the pasta and bog roll

Wait until China goes full production again.

Funny how people haven’t complained about the rise in petrol under the Torys but they did when it went up to about 86 p under Labour!!

Good time to throw some money into some oil n gas heavy hitters.

I just hope the hard of thinking don't try to stockpile it.

It’s ok Trump and Putin will have it artificially high soon 👍🏻

Damn the last time I filled my car up it was 1.34 and it’s still almost full, by the time I need more it will most likely be 1.50

Typical... I've got a full tank, as I haven't been anywhere.. and with a smartcar4two I won't need any until next year, at this rate 😁

The first target for tax rises ?

Damn, just gone electric.

Quite ironic when we aren’t supposed to be going anywhere by car 🤷‍♀️

My car is on the drive My motorcycle is in the garage Both SORN I'm on the sofa.... Don't really matter, does it? Stay safe Stay in Wash your fucking hands And keep your distance That is all.

GlenFearce1 It was 3 shillings and 9d a gallon in 1970. Just saying....

Secret oil crisis going on taking second fiddle to the Coronavirus. America because of this could lose its superpower status losing the petrodollar. Course we may have another war very soon to top things off.

It's going to get a lot lot higher

Just when we can’t sodding go anywhere 😡

Brilliant... just when we can't use it.

Great , just when I am going nowhere☺️

Cost of petrol approaching 43p in the UK. 57p is purely tax

Shows you they dont need all that extra money...

An as soon as we’re allowed to use the cars again 💥 boom! Up 30p 🙄

And by the time I can afford a car I won't be able to afford the petrol. 😔 Meanwhile having to pay £10 for taxi to get to shops as a bus /trams are too overcrowded and I'm moderate-high risk

BBCScotlandNews I’m getting about 3weeks to the gallon at the moment

BBCScotlandNews Just when mine are sitting full and no where to go. Typical lol 😂

i'm Manuel Franco the Power Ball Lottery Winner, if you've outstanding credit cards debt,let me help you with the bills

ffs I filled up a month ago £1.21 a litre but not use the car... boom when all this is over, upto £1.50 I bet

BBCScotlandNews Aye very good when no one is out and about to benefit from it !

Everyone will go out and panic buy 😂

About time oil price dropped months ago. So have we been ripped off for so long?

Plot twist: we can’t go anywhere

2016? I don’t remember it being that low then; 2006 maybe.

Great timing when nobody is going anywhere

Why is Nigeria the producers of oil still high?

Great. Just as we've got nowhere to go.

Ventilators supplier
