I've just seen on the BBC red button news too, that energy prices are predicted to fall by nearly £450 a year from July. Cornwall Insight are usually pretty accurate, so fingers crossed🤞. Let's hope the downward trend continues too.😃👍
@Tommysgirl
All looking positive. Fingers, toes, and everything crossed. 🖖(Vulcan greeting sign as my steam powered tablet doesn't have crossed fingers 😂). Onward and downward is the way forward 👍.
petrol 140, the dirty stuff 145 yesterday. The relative prices change seasonally as the demand goes up in winter for diesel, and down in the summer, heavily influenced by northern hemisphere factors. Petrol doesn’t have the same factors.
Current Eon Next and EDF customer, ex Zog and Symbio. Don't think dual fuel saves money and don't like smart meters. Chronologically Gifted. If I offend let me know by private message, but I’ll continue to express my opinions nonetheless.
Yes I noticed that petrol had dipped below £1.40 in a local garage - hope the government leave well clear of increasing fuel duty for the foreseeable future. 😉
Personally I think fuel duty shouldn’t be frozen as high prices discourages consumption and makes the net zero target easier to achieve. Similarly I fully expect gas to bear the costs of green initiatives in the future instead of electricity to make the heat pumps more cost attractive. If I had my way with public finances I’d last even a shorter time than Truss because I’d offend virtually every part of the electorate. I’d be a benign dictator though.

Did you see the papers this morning. There was a section about noise pollution from heat pumps. One is fine but a whole estate could be interesting. Ideas for the next pollution on a postcard.
Some reports deal with real issues, others are flak from interested groups. Fracking here was killed by a vocal ill informed minority. Fortunately we’re able to import fracked gas from the US in increasingly large quantities to help reduce prices here, but having our own cheap gas would have been better.
Sorry @meldrewreborn I'm afraid I'm not a great fan of fracking living only 20 miles from a site that has been in the media a lot over the past few years. Even at that distance we experienced quite a few rumblings during their experimentation. Since stopping not a pip squeak or whistle. I fully appreciate your comments though.

Do you have the article? It could be something really good to talk about maybe in this thread?
The sooner they realise they are a bad idea, the better. Along with electric cars. The grid can barely cope as it is.
Don't shoot me, I'm only the piano player. I DON'T work for or on behalf of EON.Next, but am willing to try and help if I can. Not on mains gas, mobile network or mains drainage. House heated almost entirely by baby dragons.
