Petrol Price Sweep

My local petrol station is currently 132.9 for a litre of petrol.
Anyone fancy having a sweep to guess what the price will be on say the 1st of June (2 months time) at 12 midday?
I thought we could maybe make it £1 for a guess with half the money to the winner and half to the site?
Anyone up for it? 
Bellfield Service Station, Kilmarnock

Great idea. But instead of half and half to winner and site, why don't you get a wee prize like a keyring or batteries for a key-fob or something worth about a fiver? I'll easy have a couple of guesses if I get a wee prise worth not much back, and it'll raise some money for the site.

Yep, see what the general opinion is
Copy and paste your guesses into a list (or just post it and someone with sufficient IT skills will do it for you)

You low-landers, it's only 128.9 at Asda in Elgin just now. I take it we're talking Unleaded! When does the 'fuel regulator' come in?
I'll say for my first guess, 137.9.
I shall make other guesses as time proceeds, but of course that will cost me an extra quid each next guess!
Chalk the first quid up!!

I'd go for £1.40 a litre but it depends where you are.
Our other car is a 'diesel' which is £1.36 at our local Tescos in Newbury, but it's £1.48 (!) a litre in the garage by the M4 at Junction 35 near Bridgend !
I didn't catch the price of the petrol as I was too busy getting away from the £1.48 stuff !

135.9
Thats my guess, but what is this "point 9" c**p all about?
If you wanted to buy exactly one litre, how would they give you the change?
