I was passing one of the Go stations and noticed petrol was down to £1.29. That’s the lowest it’s been since the pandemic and all our cars became expensive inanimate objects.
Home heating oil is also at a low. Clickoil offering 500 litres for £285.
When prices are low I like to stock up on petrol. I store it in old 2 litre milk cartons under the stairs next to the electric meter and those fireworks I have been storing for Halloween. What could possibly go wrong?
I jest of course. I have bought an electric car so no more trips to the pump for me!
I shall write a post soon about my electric car experience.
I help to manage Slugger by taking care of the site as well as running our live events. My background is in business, marketing and IT. My politics tend towards middle-of-the-road pragmatism, I am not a member of any political party. Oddly for a member of the Slugger team, I am not that interested in daily politics, preferring to write about big ideas in society. When not stuck in front of a screen, I am a parkrun Run Director.
