I have been consuming tankfuls of diesel like it is going out of fashion whilst helping out in Scotland with a sick aunt.

Here is a question.

UK unleaded 125 diesel 129

Spain 126 diesel unleaded 145

Who is being taken for a ride in which country?

Spain's economy is still struggling by all accounts. Not likely to see any price cuts there ant time soon.

Arguably, forcourt prices are bad for independents here. So not ideal either.


Ideal.... Quite a small word. So difficult to achieve.

1961,  4 gallons of petrol and 20 fags, = a few coppers change from £1.
Same year I bought a 3 year old Vauxhall Velox for £150.

Oh happy days !

I remember the anguish and horror when it was approaching 10/- (50p) a gallon! :o :o :o :D ;)

The cheapest fuel I remember my Dad putting in the car was 33 pence per gallon!   ???

Come on Andy, you were a LSD Child, as was I and I seem to remember around 3/6 a gallon.......... :-\ :-\ ;)

Chris. You are right about Spains economy. However the price drops in Spain as soon as world oil prices drop. In Britain it only drops when the supermarkets choose. My point is there is a huge relative difference between diesel and petrol

Aren't about 95% of vehicles in Spain diesel fuelled though :-\ in which case, economies of scale come into play...

That being the case, I'm sure if lpg was most popular here, it would be the most expensive. ....however unlikely.

So trains and lorries are better off in Spain.

To enjoy the roads there, proper fuel is required. :y
