Petrol Prices.

Petrol Prices
Fuel prices for diesel are on average between one pound fourty and one pound fourty five per litre. Yet did you know that over the last month oil prices have dropped by approx 11%?<blog break>
The average price of crude oil has dropped 73 times on a week to week basis in the past 3 years. Yet to fill up a ford focus with a 55 lite fuel capacity it now costs a huge £75 to fill up. More than £10 more than 3 years ago.
It seems that the tax that is imposed on our fuel becomes more and more an important part of social funding and hence the ndrops in crude oil prices don't seem to be reflected at the fuel pumps.

BSM brought out by AA
Posted on
Just to clarify a point that we have had a few e-mails regarding. Yes as of February of this year, the AA had brought out BSM (British School of Motoring) for just £1.
The takeover occurred after the British School of Motoring - which celebrated its 100th anniversary last year - went into administration and was bought out again by its rival, the AA.
Today both sides said that business would continue as usual for learners. BSM and the AA Driving School will continue to operate as separate brands, but both will be under the umbrella of the AA's parent company, Acromas, which also owns SAGA
The BSM driving school is believed to have been struggling since a £10million management buyout in November 2009. It went into administration after plans to expand the number of driving instructors to 3,000 collapsed. BSM has 135 employees at its Bristol HQ and a further 145 at 71 UK centres, providing support to the franchised instructors.
Infact since the previous takeover, some 600 driving instructors had left BSM to find work elsewhere.
So in the last 12 months both RED Driving School and BSM have in effect gone out of business.
