It may be short lived but Asda have announced that unleaded petrol will be 99.7p per/l from tomorrow 11/12 until sunday 13/12.
Finally the £1 barrier may have been broken....
Let the petrol wars really begin!
Same price in Morrisons Morton Park in Darlington

Used to use Asda unleaded in my old Golf mk4 until I needed a new EGR Valve for it and the garage said it was probably down to the type of fuel I was using! Stick to Shell/Esso now and no problems since.
Diesel fuel or derv is quite refined now and must be used in modern compression combustion engines. However, my 1982 VW Golf 1600 Diesel ran on what was available. I drove in Norway on untaxed boat fuel and at times in Europe had to put some petrol and paraffin in the tank. Sadly, after 200,000 miles I had to sell it.

This was asked a while ago, and never properly answered.
Diesel is a fuel sold around the country and all over the world. It differs from Petrol in several ways, the most important being that it ignites due to heat from compressed air rather than the spark a traditional petrol engine uses.

Duty is a set fee, tax is a percentage of the price and duty added together and is currently 20%, please post only when you have the full and correct facts.
trevornelmes
11 Dec 15#130
Oh, and to those of you debating the duty rate, don't forget to add 20% VAT to that duty. Yes, duty is subject to VAT!! And nobody is going to deliver that oil from the well to the refinery, refine it, and deliver it to the petrol station, pay the staff, all for nothing. As I I have said before, the $0 per barrel price for oil equates to about 75p per litre at the forecourt. I really can't see it going below 90p per litre, but current oil prices this afternoon and low demand for diesel should see prices of about 94.9p per litre for diesel and 96.9p per litre for petrol. That makes this 'special offer' from Asda a poor one at best.

11 Dec 15#129
I took my eyes off the oil market for 3 hours!! and ...
Brent crude prices have PLUMMETED this afternoon. Since Wednesday, it has been between $39.50 and $40.40, but I see it fell to just over $37 this afternoon. That has got to hurt. It has recovered a little bit, but not much. That's a 5% reduction, or 1-2p per litre. In just 3 hours!!

7. Fuel Duty
Fuel Duty is included in the price you pay for petrol, diesel and other fuels used in vehicles or for heating.
You also pay standard rate VAT at 20% on most fuel, or the reduced rate of 5% on domestic heating fuel.
Fuel Duty rates
The rate you pay depends on the type of fuel.
Type of fuel Rate
Petrol, diesel, biodiesel and bioethanol 57.95 pence per litre
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) 31.61 pence per kg
Natural gas used as fuel in vehicles, eg biogas 24.70 pence per kg
‘Fuel oil’ burned in a furnace or used for heating 10.70 pence per litre
Was it ? So what percentage do they take in duty ?
londonguy
11 Dec 15#118
duty and tax is the same % when it was 1.40 a litre :wink: , oil has dropped 65% from peak , do the math
its all rigged anyway , when they want price to go down they pump more , price to go up pump less .
saudi are only doing this to try to kill off fracking by the states , traders will make billions of dollars when the price rises again , winning lottery ticket everytime.

Morrisons also dropped it below £1 but I think it should drop lot more
Price per barrel (crude oil) is now £26.40
1 barrel = 163.66 Litres
1 Litre price = £ 0.1613 or just 16p (Excluding any import tax, vat or any processing fees etc).
Even if you add 200% tax and 100% processing charge on per litre then it should not be more than 75p / Litre
This is ridiculous. Petrol & Diesel prices in this country is very expensive - pathetic

Depending on what type of vehicle you are driving, whether it’s been tuned or has a standard map, you may notice differences between using different filling stations, even between the branded ones. BUT the fuel is all from the same refineries which all meets the British Standards, so you can use any to fill up your vehicle with petrol or diesel, knowing it’s all of the same ‘base’ fuel.

You clearly no **** all about Diesel do you. Companies pay premiums for different grades and filtering levels. That Asda fuel will leave more deposits and minerals in both your DPF, fuel pumps, egr valves and other components. Has lower a octane level and more than likely less lubricant. I would think twice before putting that **** in old MacDonald's tractor let alone my car. And thanks sir but I don't even have to leave my drive to regen my DPF so even if I didn't know how to drive a Diesel I could regen without interupption on my driveway.

If your DPF is clogging you are driving your car incorrectly.
Supermarket fuels are exactly the same as branded fuels. They come from the same refineries and are often delivered in the same tankers as branded fuel.
However, petrol stations will often add their own additives to fuel (Similar to Redex) for which they claim their 'magic' properties. It's important to remember though that cars are designed for fuel with no additives and that additives can actually cause damage!
Anyone remember the "Formula Shell" debacle of the 80's? Shell were one of the first to add additives to their fuel. The additive was added with a bucket at the filling station, because Shell was buying fuel from various other suppliers.
Only problem was their Formula Shell additive would slowly build up on valve stems, eventually causing them to stick and wrecking the cylinder heads.
When people tried to claim they were turned away by Shell on the basis they couldn't prove where they bought the fuel, but a number of Police forces were successful as they bought the fuel on contract from Shell, could prove they used the fuel and Shell replaced all their engines..
Formula Shell was quietly dropped and they have been trying to bury the story ever since.

Diesel is a fuel sold around the country and all over the world. It differs from Petrol in several ways, the most important being that it ignites due to heat from compressed air rather than the spark a traditional petrol engine uses.

Anyone remember the "Formula Shell" debacle of the 80's? Shell were one of the first to add additives to their fuel. The additive was added with a bucket at the filling station, because Shell was buying fuel from various other suppliers.
Only problem was their Formula Shell additive would slowly build up on valve stems, eventually causing them to stick and wrecking the cylinder heads.
When people tried to claim they were turned away by Shell on the basis they couldn't prove where they bought the fuel, but a number of Police forces were successful as they bought the fuel on contract from Shell, could prove they used the fuel and Shell replaced all their engines..
Formula Shell was quietly dropped and they have been trying to bury the story ever since.

Hopefully Sainsbury's will match this price like last time, along with the 10x points promo.
Devastated. The 35litres I bought with that 2p drop would have been life changing. Might make the 80 mile round trip back to where I filled up at and see if they'll honour a partial refund
