I was just looking through some of my old posts when I saw a 2005 entry Petrol Price below 80p…About Time I wish – the current price round here is £1.19 a litre of diesel; Our nice government put up the duty on petrol by 1p a litre so all the garages put the price up by 4p; as I like to keep our American cousins informed that works out at $7.21 a gallon.
