The main driver of a lower increase in costs were air fares and motor fuel. Motor fuel has already increased in the early part of October and air fares traditionally reduce at this time of year once the busy summer season is over.
Higher increases in costs came about for food and non-alcoholic drinks (which people tend to pay for more often than air fares).
There may be some small reductions in interest rates beween now and the end of the financial year. However, once the effects of increased government spending, borrowing to fund that spending, together with indirect tax increases all kick in it is likely they will rise again.
Government borrowing (with no realistic chance of paying it back) is essentially printing worthless money. If you do that inflation soon rears its head.
Well NJ you may well be correct but take the good news while it lasts. I only paid £1. 28 lt yesterday ( shropshire area) the only downer I had was when i bought 4lts of oil to change on my car, a wopping £35 the latter just seems to be increasing? The only upside i do it myself so no garage labour, and i would guess the garage would charge even more.
//you seem to have little idea of economics paying £230 out for such a simple job//
You have to take into account other factors, in particular time. Time for me is valuable and I can earn it without getting covered in oil. Besides like I say its a BMW, needs decent oil or your MPG drops and the engine knackers. Fuel injected twin urbo engines dont have filters for £9.00. So yes, for me the economics is there.
BT, I used to rebuild motors and resell them in my youth so changed plenty of oil, really dont nwant to be doing that at my age.
