Fuel prices..WTF??

[davidharvey]

The fuel here is always a few pennies more than elsewhere, but for the first time in years petrol has overtaken diesel. 105.9 as opposed to 104.9 for diesel.
Why the sudden change?

[goodall3518]

where in the country is this?
petrol prices here still pretty steady

[saxo_tom1234]

where you live ? lol never heard of that place before

[Mr_X]

WTF is going on!!!!!! :wall:

[davidharvey]

where you live ? lol never heard of that place before

I am in West of Scotland. maybe some of the older members here will remember the Paul mc Cartney song "Mull of Kintyre"?

We always get ripped off for fuel cos we only have one filling station for miles around, nearest city is Glasgow (130 miles by road)

Just never seen petrol dearer for ages, though diesel is cheaper to produce

[tinytitch]

its getting crazy cause when on the bike this morning as the weather good :cool: and it took £6:50 wtf it only use to take under a £5 not long ago x

[TU-Tuning]

95p at supermarkets and around a quid from BP etc down here

[craig180]

100.9 for unleaded here and 99.9 for diesel. Good job I always leave the tank on vapours every time the missus needs to use my car. Can't remember the last time I paid for fuel :p

miss the derv? ;)

[Rogue_Shadow]

94 is the cheapest Ive seen petrol
£1.05 the Cheapest for Diesel

Most Expensive Ive seen is Pertol £1.04 and Diesel at £1.10

And Before the Cornish Jokes ( You dont know what cars are, you have Horses etc) flood in

Those values are varied over a distance of a mile between stations

[Barry123]

miss the derv? ;)

funnily enough not really. but considering it's double the power and it's powered on fuel gobbling petrol, I'm getting about only 10-20mpg less in VTS compared to the derv.

Dadsayer got cheesed off with me because he was getting 50mpg going from sayertowers to guildford in his diesel and I was getting 50mpg doing the exact same run in my VTS :cool:

[Pieface]

Up here, highest I've seen recently is 106.9

[Add91289]

iirc diesel cost's less to produce then petrol. they just tax diesel more. tell me if im talking shit btw

[davidharvey]

My belief also

[Barry123]

the fuel is actually taxed the same mate (at least it was last year)
it's the fuel producing companies that are putting the mark up on it... although it's cheaper to produce they haven't quite developed the infrastructure to support the increased demand of the diesel, so technically there is a 'shortage' as diesel reserves are much lower than our petrol... thus the companies charge more for it and because in that price increase a percentage is paying for the cost of improving the infrastructure yo

ads!

Most places in Nuneaton on Saturday were 99.9 for petrol but there is one garage Esso that is normally lower but for some reason it was the same price.

[Luke]

[gouldy87]

petrol has gone up near me at the local shell garage, its now 102p where as diesel has stayed around £1

[RichM]

Unleaded is still cheaper than diesel here.

[shooorn94]

[Roj]

[JamieLee2k]

Been driving from Nuneaton to Skegness and back today and the amount of stations I passed with weird prices was amazing

At Esso in Grantham Desiel was 98.9 and petrol was 99.9

BP most places were 98.9 or 99.9 Desiel were 102.9 - 104.9

The cheapest petrol I seen was 95.9 can't remember where and the cheapest Desiel was 98.9

[Sheeps24]

I remember when they first put the prices up and everyone thought we was guna run out and went crazy buying petrol LOL !
