Why is a litre of petrol 69.9 pence per liter. Why can they cut out the psycology and call it 70? Do they really think we're stupid enough to worry about 0.1 pence a litre (or half a pence a gallon)?
I suppose it's like shops selling stuff at £5.99 instead of £6.00 so you think you're saving money. Isn't it about time we dumped this. Think of all those 1p coins you wouldn't need anymore!

in this country we need all the money we can get, what with all the different taxes etc.

Since one can buy any amount of fuel, the actual price is not important. I always buy a round number of litres - makes it easier to track consumption.

And why is it that while petrol has dropped about 5p just recently, diesel is still around 75p a litre?
Is the price of diesel being kept artificially high to subsidise a bigger reduction in petrol price?
I don't drive a diesel, but I *have* been considering one - now I'm wavering again.

Diesel is always slightly more expensive in winter, because it is interchangeable with heating oil and demand determines price.
