How Fuel Prices Affect Oil Suppliers
Has Asda Started A Petrol Price War?
20/5/2010
Asda has caused widespread joy amongst motorists in the UK by slashing its fuel price last night by 2p. This has been matched by its competitors such as Shell, Tesco and Morrisons. With others such as Sainsbury's indicating it will also match the cut. Diesel has also been reduced but only by 1 pence per litre.
Perhaps this is the start of constant altering of petrol prices as companies seek to gain an advantage over rivals. Well, lets hope so as it would mean that prices would continue to fall and give us all some relief in the wallet and purse department, for a short while at least.
This fall is due to an easing on world oil prices. This effect has also been making the price of heating oil fall which has dropped just over 2 pence per litre over the past week. Visit Which Oil Supplier Ltd to find out todays prices.

Fuel Prices - Oil, Gas or Electric?
26/4/2010
Now that the Winter freeze has passed and the weather has brightened up people are now regularly asking me about which heating fuel is the best. Easy answer is we just do not know, this is because there is no way of knowing which fuels might have prices spike or price falls.
Most homes use electricity, gas, or oil for heating. Oil is becoming a popular choice in some areas of the UK, while gas still remains the most popular choice as a whole.
While most people have the choice over which fuel type to use many have no decision, this is as some areas are not linked to the gas network and so must use heating oil.
Although oil may not be what you are used to laying a gas main to your house can cost thousands of pounds. Also being in an area where you must use oil will mean there are several companies nearby fighting for your custom. Don’t waste time comparing yourself why not visit this heating oil comparison site for a quick and easy way to compare and order.

Fuel Duty Increase Staggered
24/3/2010
Alistair Darling today told the country that the expected 3 pence per litre fuel duty rise will now only be 1pence on the 1st April. This means oil suppliers will be hit with a smaller increase in costs than expected but with the remaining increases to be added in the coming October and January the rise will be added in full eventually.
