All the supermarkets in our area are bragging that their prices are lower than their rivals, that means a couple of pence here and there.
During the last month, petrol prices at Tesco Didcot and Esso Wallingford have been 138.9. The oil price, which is purchased in dollars, has fallen from $112 per barrel to $100 and the exchange rate for the pound to the dollar has risen from $1.47 to $1.54, therefore the price of petrol should be in the region of £1.32 to £1.35 per litre.
They can keep their reduced baked beans and reduced the price of fuel. Some chance.
