The only way we are going to see significant savings beyond this price,is if the U.K. government reduce fuel duty.
At 97.7-9p per litre there is a total of 73.95p of that paid to the government as fuel duty, and V.A.T.
The cost of a barrel of oil today is about $31.50 - circa £21.95, each barrel contains 163 litres, (we'll pretend for now that all of this becomes petrol/diesel) so that about 13.5p a litre. Add this to the tax and you have 87.4p per litre, and that is without and refining, delivery or profit.
People just see the headline barrel price, but really don't want to know how much else goes and and complain that the oil companies and fuel retailers are profiteering.

Whilst I disagree with this, you do understand that the reason BP is only a couple of pence more than this is because ASDA have reduced the price. When did BP last do a price drop not brought on by supermarkets. They big brands charge what they can get away with, see the price where there isn't a supermarket close.
All users of fuel whether you use supermarkets or not, benefit from them leading the way in fuel prices.
