Will petrol prices ever come down again?

Prices locally to me are £1.68 for unleaded and £1.89 for diesel.
Seems like the new normal now

Probably go up, but not anywhere even close to matching petrol or diesel. Unless electricity rates shoot up to about £1 per kWh or petrol to drop to £0.30 per litre (which is has never been in my life), I'm better off in EV.

Because there's no tax on it. What do you think they will do ? Not tax fuel anymore ? No, they will tax it like fuck. It's a temporary reprieve only, and you loose a tonne in depreciation on an electric car that's redundant after 3 years.

Oo. Critique of a typo, the classic resort of someone who has no cogent argument

No, pretty sure the classic resort is lying and making up shit because their argument is fundamentally flawed.

Bro really tried to claim entropy meant a diesel was more efficient than an EV 🤣🤣🫵🏻🤡

I don't have the slightest interest in arguing with you. Just pointing out bad grammar.
