So maybe it is on the way down.

Not yet -- It was 96.9 here a week ago.     We were on 91.9 until recently.

I do recall from a trip over to Ireland several years ago that the prices in Wales seemed to be higher than in the east of England.

hmmm...I live in the SW and I always fill up my car in Wales before I return across the bridge...normally about 3-4p cheaper than this side of the Severn.

Dropped five cents here overnight... all the way down to $2.57  :)

I'm off in search of petrol today, so I'll let you know later what the prices are for me in Wales!

As of yesterday (before the announcement that Esso and Shell will drop prices) they are at 90.9p/litre, a veritable bargain!
Everybody can start buying SUVs again! (god I hope not!)

Wow, gas just keeps dropping back down here thankfully! Just found it for $2.42 which is fifteen cents less than yesterday!

When I am grown-up I will understand how BEAUTIFUL it feels to administrate my life effectively.

Until then I will continue to TORCH all correspondence that bores me and to dance NAKED over the remnants of its still glowing embers.

I saw gas for $2.48 yesterday!!  I was in a hurry and couldn't stop, but wish I had.  That's the lowest I've seen it in weeks.  Hopefully this will mean heating the house won't be as brutal as they are saying this winter - but I doubt it.

Got stuck paying $2.65 this afternoon.  Not as bad as it's been, but not good yet.

Gas prices are expected to spike to $5/gallon for a while in the US.  I feel for those with big SUVs!

I filled up at $2.47/gal last night.  That was at a Sam's Club.  It's just disgusting how we now see this and think - oh, that's better.  NO!!!  Better would be back at $1.70/gal!!!!!  At the very least!!!
