How much are you paying for diesel?

I paid £1.15 for vpower yesterday. But I dont mind because I know the difference between that and standard unleaded. I dont mind paying an extra 3p per litre for a much better fuel.
 
I normaly use bp ultimate, I have not filled up for a while and dread what its going to be next time I fill up:mad:

Its amazing how quick they put the prices up. Shame they are not so quick off the mark when crude oil comes down in price!
 
i filled up last time with bp ultimate un leaded @ 119.9 p still not as dear as i paid in cornwall in 2008 135.4p--wowser:eek:
 
Re fuel price increase how many have realised the govenrments extra tax???
When VAT was decreased to 15% fuel (and alcohol) was in effect excluded by increasing the duty... when VAT went back up to 17.5% on 01/01/2010 fuel (and I presume alcohol) went up by the VAT increase!!
 
Just been looking through my old threads and came over this thread.

So 16 months ago I was paying £1.10 lt for diesel, I filled up today at £1.37:eek::mad::eek:

At this rate it will be near £2 a lt by the end of the year:eek:

Libya have a lot to answer for, how can a country that supplies 2% of the worlds light crude oil make the price shoot up so much!

it might be however surprisingly I found Inverness no more expensive than Huddersfield. What did get my goat yesterday was Labours' Ed Balls -up telling the Coalition they should reduce fuel duty/VAT to help the motorist!! Now how much did fuel duty rise when he was in the treasury!? The guy isn't fit to run a primary school buscuit fund.
 
Its not going to get any better! On the positive folks, I really think more people will turn their heads to the common sense of the A2. For current owners and especially potential sellers this has to mean strong residuals for us and an increase in the following and recognition of this wee car.

Theres talk of fuel reaching 150p a litre later this year; and while I shudder for my compamy car allowance I am equally thankful that we run an A2 as a second car which has cost us very little in real term running costs since we bought it. Recession proof motoring waiting to be fully recognised!
 
Thing is though, these prices are artifically inflated:

At the last high for forecourt prices, when prices got to around 125p/litre, oil was at around $140 per barrel.

Oil is currently trading around $100-105 per barrel, yet the cost of fuel is way higher than it was before - same happens with gas and elecricity prices, as the companies never drop prices when the raw materials fall back.

We need to take direct action as a nation - make the fuel strikes of 2000 look like nothing - both the government (whichever colour is in power) and especially the oil companies, are taking the p1ss!!

Cheers,

133.9 for diesel today at my Sainsbury, 137.9 for the same at the BP next door. BP Ultimate Diesel is 143.9!
 
Unfortunately the main factor in todays high price at the forecourt is the value of the £ against the $ which is not what it was 2-3 years ago and there is very little we can do about that. However i am amazed at the apathy of drivers, hauliers etc that we have not had a repeat and more, of the 2000 protests against the fuel duty. i suspect if fuel duty was lowered by say, 10p/litre the additional fuel sold would generate enough additional tax to offset the initial revenue losses. After all wasn't it claimed the scrappage scheme was self funding from the VAt the additional sales generated? Or are we so bound up by (so called) 'green/environmental' tax zealots in Govt? i wonder what would happen if Cameron, Clegg and co had to pay for their own fuel out of their own wallets every day?

Is there an oil terminal in Huddersfield?

We ship it into Inverness,so every lil elps

It usually just transport costs & competition.

Elgins cheaper than Inverness as Asda always undercut Tescos :cool:

Trying to think of closest terminal to Huddersfield,
probably Stanlow and then maybe Immingham,so quite a trawl.
 
On previous visits to Inverness and beyond going back 25 years I always found fuel 3-5p litre more expensive. Must be the power of Tesco!
 
Had to fill up today and paid £141.9:mad::eek::eek:

That is a 6p rise between fill ups:eek: this can't cary on at this rate.

I might have to go back to a moped for day to day driving at this rate.

And when it gets to £2lt on my push bike:eek::eek:

I wonder why the gap between petrol & diesel is increasing such alot lately. When I started looking for my A2 it was 2p difference, now it's on average 8p:confused:

I filled up in Taunton last week at £134.9 which was the cheapest within a large area, it's now £136.9 and will probably increase further before I fill up again, it just seems to be on an constant increase since it hit £1.00 per litre:mad:

To think, the first time I filled up my very first car it was 53p per litre!
 
When I was 16 my dad worked out in the UAE I visited him.

Petrol was 50p ........................gallon:D

No wonder they all drove around in range rovers:cool:

Of everything that has been said I think Mervyn King (Gov of Bank of England) has uttered the most telling:

"Why aren't the public angrier?"

These rising costs are going to curtail any recovery and now we've the Libyan issue to hit Oil supplies.

and let's wonder what the fools will do at the forthcoming Budget.
