PaulT Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Towards the end of September 2014 with the £ still at a relatively good rate and oil prices low it seemed a good idea to fill the tank.Went on line and one of the sites quoted 0,86 per litre for superior oil. Contacted our normal supplier and they matched the price...well happy.Now, the website sends me regular emails about the good rates. A couple of days ago I got a quote.....0,76 per litre and the £ is still in the same place. Over on the 15th so it would have been better to have waited - aint hindsight wonderful.

vette Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I just checked my supplier and Superior is now down to 71c per litre.Here's a link to the comparison site for anyone interested; http://www.fioulmarket.fr/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Yes but if you have income in £s the exchange rate has gone up...[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Don't wish to rub in salt but my neighbour told me yesterday that she has just paid 54 c per litre here in Luxembourg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patf Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Does anyone know if the drop in oil prices will be followed by a reduction in the price of gas? We have propane, it's very expensive [:(]I know the 2 are connected somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerdesal Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I imagine that the price of GPL will drop - maybe, but I suspect that there is a long ''lead time''. Don't hold your breath :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyh4 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Yes the price of gas should drop, but expect a significant wait. French gas is produced as a by-product of oil refining and as such the price should have already dropped, based on the price of oil. However the international market price for gas has not yet moved as significantly as oil. In Europe this is because the major producer is Russia and they are now in such financial straights that they are unlikely to push the price down - preferring to restrict supplies.- which if there is a hard winter could lead to some problems for EU countries, and so punish the EU for its stance over Ukraine.I suspect the falling gas price will eventually meet a rising oil price. As Powerdesal says, don't hold your breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
