Oil Be Seeing You At All The Old Familiar Prices!
On the day that Shell Oil reported record profits of £13.9 billion and told the world how it was hit by falling prices in the final quarter of last year, it is my solemn duty to advise readers that pump prices are creeping up again.

Jan 20 ASDA, Radcliffe, Manchester: 83.9 per litre

Jan 22 ASDA, Radcliffe, Manchester: 84.9 per litre
-
Jan 28 TESCO, Walkden, Manchester: 86.9 per litre
This means it’s risen by 0.3p p/l in only a week and has hiked the cost of filling our Suzuki Carry van by a £1.00. It doesn’t sound much, but let’s multiply that by three times per week, per month, etc., etc. ….
Meanwhile, as we buy petrol several times a week, I’ll monitor the cost very carefully and post regular details here.
I’m not impressed by what’s happening; how does anyone else out there feel?
