Until next year which is nice...BUT
My local garage has dropped its price from £1.42 down to £1.28 over the past few weeks.
I use
http://www.petrolprices.com/ to find the cheapest garage and its brilliant, especially if there is an Asda nearby.
The local supermarket raised its price by 4p a litre today, the same day it offers 6p off a litre promotion.
It all seems like nonsense pricing where 3p here or there is
inconsequential incomprehensible to me. (EDIT - dont get me wrong, love and need a price drop, I meant that there seems to be such little co-ordination between crude oil prices and the dancing prices charged at the pumps.)

Paxman turned her inside out.
I'm sure our resident Tory spokesman, Mr Floyd Montana - will find a way to justify yet another bungling government budgetary indecision.
;o)
At first Paxo was going easy on her but after a while you could see him get the hump and go through the gears.
Dreadful policy from the government, they basically do whatever The Sun tells them to, at least Major (a very decent man) had the balls to stick to his policies once they were announced.
Right that it has been delayed...shambles in getting to the decision. Being shown up as very naïve and hardly trusted with being able to run the country/economy.
It could be argued that the Government is listening to the will of the voters, and modifying unpopular policies.
Nobody will ever do a worse job than Gordon Brown - be thankful he has gone. Whatever replaced him is an improvement.
I'm a woman trapped in a mans body...
Now that's what I call spin.
Anyway, it's only a stay of execution.
The Tories will find a way to introduce it as soon as they can - possibly stealthily in the shadow of some other event yet to happen, when they think nobody is looking.
Can you trust them....?
Personally I like to think (probably cuckoo land) that the Liberals are having a positive input - there must be so much bargaining in what is after all a coalition government. I also hope that the Liberals had a hissy fit at the proposed changes to education revealed in the leaked draft memo.
It's fantastic watching politicians squirm ! Especially a Tory/Liberal .
Osborne has spent every waking moment telling everyone since he won power that austerity measures were the only solution on the table and that there was to be no return to Keynesian policies - ie, more borrowing.
What's he doing now the economy is contracting? Yep, you guessed it, he's borrowing more money - which is the same policy the previous government had been deploying.
God knows Brown made some howlers and Labour were ready for the departure gates but I don't see how Osbourne is any sort of improvement, he has the backbone of a jelly fish.
How many more u-turns can a Chancellor execute before his position becomes untenable? Even the likes of Fraser Nelson are abandoning him.
