The media are at it again scaring people with fuel prices. :-X
They have posted pictures in Doncaster of large queue's
Prices arround £1.75 Litre all time high.
Possibly will hit £2.00 per litre.
-
My local are is arround £148 a Litre Unleaded at the moment.
-
Paid £1.51 for diesel on Saturday morning :'(

I hope that's missing a decimal point :D
We are about 1.51 to 1.54 for unleaded. It's just silly...

I saw £1.58 yesterday for diesel. :(

You'll pay an extra 3-10p a litre for lorry fuel. :)

1.479 for the dirty stuff yesterday. Petrol was the same.

143.9p and 147.9p at the local Sainsburys this morning.
Although I was just there for the Maccy's at £3.99-a-go :y

That's roughly an extra 75 EXTRA miles for each gallon. :D

That’s some mighty good stuff you’re running Steve :D
-
£1.55 per litre for diesel at our local BP Station just now.
Considering the lights were showing just under half a tank, I still managed to get £70 of diesel in it. :o
-
Petrol € 1.79 / litre ( £1.49 ) down here in deepest SW Ireland.

I'm happy with the mpg of the ML, it's better than the R Class was. I can easily see 30 going to work and on a long run . as long as I'm steady with my right foot I can see 35/36mpg. But I can easily make it do low 20s around town. It just brings a tear to the wallet when you fill it from empty :'(
-
£1.55 Diesel & £1.51 Petrol don't use a lot of fuel now we're both retired & to be honest I don't normally look at the price, just fill them when they need it, just the fact that I was on the school run & passed our local station, neither of our vehicles are economical so I could make savings if I really had to, most I've ever had to pay after refuelling was £109 when I drove down to Devon with the tin tent in the RRS.
-
Just filled up at £1.46.
-
£1.47.8 for E10 seems to be cheapest round here to a high of £1.51.9 at nearest[Jet] station.Don't care what prices are for any other type of fuel.

Which reminded me of the brain trauma acquired yesterday from trying to work out what four fluid ounces was compared to a US gallon.
We settled on about a table spoon for every US gallon of water. And concluded that if it were that potent we should probably use something else... ::)

Just filled up the work Traaaaaaansit from about half a tank. 58 quid later... I think it would work out cheaper to fill it with whisky. Still, not my money...

A fluid ounce is the same thing on both sides of the Atlantic, however they only have 16 of them in a pint whereas we have 20 of them. We both have 8 pints in a gallon, hence their gallon is smaller.
3.78 'liters' = 1 US gallon
4.54 litres = 1 Imp gallon

Yes....I said 'roughly' 5 litres to a gallon so I wasn't far wrong. :)

If my memory serves me correctly when I passed my driving test in 1971 petrol was around 38 pence a gallon or around 8 pence a litre I bought a one owner Velox for £130, happy days.
-
Given that such a purchase today would be thousands, how much does that 38p a gallon equate to now? :-\
https://www.inflationtool.com/british-pound/1971-to-present-value
£4.60 apparently... So 38p a gallon isn't too far removed...

Went out today and thought about topping up at local station at 1.60 euros but decided best on return. It had gone up to 1.63 euro by the evening. 1.72 euro for unleaded. I wonder how much it is on French motorways!
-
Paid £1.53.7 for diesel at Asda tonight
My first memory of petrol prices is from 1972 when it was 32p a gallon where my father filled up
-
Just seen the highest so far at 170.9 pence per litre of diesel .....

€1.72 isn't too horrific, relatively speaking.
-
Wages here aren’t as high as in the uk. Historically price here has reflected the £ euro exchange rate. If it was £ equals 1.20 euros then a ltre in uk would be £1,30 and here 1.30 euro. In France it would be around 1.45 and 1.55 on motorway.

There's been volatile trading in Brent Crude today going from as 'low' as $109 to a high of $118 with a few zig zags in between. :(
-

Drove past Rivington Services near Bolton today on the M61 - couldn't believe the price of unleaded......a rip off £1.81 per litre :o. As I said, I drove past.......
I appreciate motorways are more expensive (although I thought there were moves several years ago to bring them more into line with urban garage prices?), but EC Garages ( Euro Garages) are taking the p¡$$. No wonder their owners are driving round in Porsches'...... ::)
-
Diesel is £1.66 around here
Petrol is about 8 pence cheaper

I seem to remember 5 star petrol being around 25p a gallon in 1976.....but I may be confusing this with beer being 25p a pint, or 4 pints for a quid. :-X

I could have bought around 480 gallons a week with what I was earning back then at that price,to buy that amount now I'd have to be on around £182,000 per annum.

I was working in a petrol station late 78 or early 79 when it went to £1 a gallon. Customers went berserk.
Ciggies reached £1 for twenty a couple of years later, which was when I started trying to stop smoking.
Took me nearly another 20 years to succeed. ;D
-
.....

I was a new apprentice when ciggies reached £1 a packet & I was going to give up then too. And like you it was about 20 years later that I eventually managed it - it was worth the effort. It'll be 20 years this Easter when I packed in.

Tried a cigarette once & a cigar once hated the taste of both thankfully & no doubt saved myself a fortune.

especially now .... premium brands are £12/13 a packet! :o :o

Last time I checked was 1.47 for Unleaded and about 1.63 for super, that was almost a week ago though, based near Glasgow.

51p for 20 Gold Leaf in 1980.

There is a rumour that fags may not be good for our health. Apparently the same is being said of the British 'fry up'..... ;)

In the case of fags, that's actually unproven, despite the millions spent trying to. Much like man made global warming, really ;D
As for the Full English, well, I think that is proven... ...but as breakage is the most important meal of the day, and not having a hearty breakfast means you snack on shite all day, I'd like to argue in favour of the full fry up. Never did my grandparents any harm :y

I hope TB you are joking! :o :o :o
Sucking in toxic smoke from cigarettes has done human kind no good, never has, never will. My father was a heavy smoking - he died from a series of strokes caused by his habit. An uncle smoked very heavily - after losing his legs due to poor circulation down to his habit, he died young, as did his wife, my auntie for the same reasons. A close friend of mine is a very strong smoker, but now is dying young with lung disease. My great auntie never smoked and lived to 95.
Now I know there are exceptions that people can quote, but there always is with any argument. But you cannot hide away the truth, known by doctors and scientists for decades.
So please stop spouting dangerous rubbish TB that is against all knowledge and common sense. ::) ::)

Actually, whilst my comment was a throwaway tongue in cheek comment LZ, it is unproven. Something I found interesting, as I too was under the impression it was a no brainer, especially as for at least the last 40 years we've been told its a given.
Which probably explains why many of those lucky enough to get a telegram from Queen Lizzy either still are, or have been long term smokers.
There is, or at least was when I researched it for a project a few years back, some circumstantial evidence that there is a link... ...but as much circumstantial evidence to suggest otherwise.
And to think they banned smoking in pubs based on such hearsay.
For info, I'm a non smoker - like Rangie, I tried it once* and didn't like it. Other than an occasional cigar on Christmas Eve whilst 3 parts cut at the pub when I might try a cigar, I haven't touched tobacco since.
*2 of my older brothers smoked, as did dad at the time, and when I was 7 or 8, I begged them for a ciggy, when eventually one of them gave in. First big inhale, I promptly ran other the road and threw up in the hedge ;D

There are many articles on the facts on smoking illnesses and death but this, from our NHS that spends £11 billion per year tackling the effects, is good enough:

Tax take on ciggies must be a few billion although far less now when compared to the fifties, when just about everyone smoked.

when others tell smokers they should stop smoking, the smoker will dig his/her heels in and smoke even more because they've been told they should stop. A smoker has to want to stop his/her self.
Stopping smoking is easy .... I did it countless times ::) (joke ;))

but you can't get £50 to pay the fine when you are sacked and no longer earning due to a criminal record ::)
Do the Government still hand out "free money" to people who get sacked ? I thought they stopped that :-\

Petrol £1.497 (for the E10 stuff) here this morning (Morrisons Yeovil).

Brace yourself for more pain at the pumps folks, Brent Crude spiked at a high of $136.79 overnight on the news that the US and the EU are considering a Russian oil embargo. It's dropped back this morning and the current price is $124.94.

And there is no article that can prove a link between smoking and many of those ailments. And that was my point, its unproven. I never said smoking didn't cause cancer and blood clotting, I just said nobody has yet been able to prove it.
There is circumstantial evidence in the form of a correlation between risks of some diseases and smoking, but I have just found a correlation between obesity and watching Love Island. Yet I doubt watching trash TV causes obesity.
Speaking of obesity, the NHS website swears blind that being obese will cause diabetes, but keeps quiet that both types are hereditary. Yes, you are more likely to get type 2 if you are a fat slob (watching Love Island, according to my correlation linked fact from above), but only if you have the faulty genes to start with. Unless the leaflets from the (NHS) diabetes clinic are lying, of course.
Everything needs a tag line now, to get through to the ear more dumbed down, stupid. Like "Speed Kills" banded about by the old bill/dvla/etc several years ago, but had to stop because it fell foul of ASA, after it was discovered that nobody had ever died of speed, only acceleration.
Anyway, it was, as said previously, a throw away comment, and there are far more important things to going on than arguing about a non-issue.

Watching Love Island flags up some form of mental instability in the viewer, so I'm guessing that this makes them more susceptible to other medical issues. :-\

Embarrassingly, I have no idea what it is, I just did a search for uk trailer trash tv, and that came up. Sounds like its big brother for millennials from the paragraph I read.

Is it a little indy station Steve? There are a few smaller ones around here that have always charged far more that the supermarkets/bigboys. Filled up last night @ £146.9 at local Sainsburys.

At this rate, the £99 limit at most supermarket pumps per day won't give enough fuel to last until tomorrow, when you can next fill up :o

Doesn't seem that long ago when all the fuel stations were having new electronic signs fitted to they could display > £1 a litre.
Maybe they will soon start to price fuel in millilitres....

A bloke in a cafe told me the increase in diesel price doesn’t affect him because he only ever puts 20 euro in it.

Oil is down nearly 6% at the moment. Can't see anything in the news that would cause that, but it's good news for now.

That's just profiteering, but the sheeple who use it, instead of telling him to wedge it, will just pay up regardless.

I don't completely understand what is happening. Oil is down 12.5% right now, stocks are up. Have I missed something?

It’s down because Ukraine has said it is prepared to concede to some of Putins demands although becoming part of Russia is not on the cards.

Ok...but that doesn't mean we're all going to start buying oil from Russia again. I know the markets are largely moved by sheep sentiment, but such large swings smack of desperation.

Around 10 days ago Brent Crude peaked at $137 a barrel, pump prices immediately shot up to ridiculously high prices. It's down to $108 today, but pump prices are still up around £1.75 a litre here.
As it's such an essential commodity, same as gas and electric, maybe a price cap would be a good idea.

Yes they jacked the prices on fuel that they already had in their tanks that was bought at the lower prices, but now the tanks are full of expensive fuel which needs to be shifted. ::)
So the moral of the story is that we need to drive more to burn the expensive fuel, so the suppliers can fill their forecourt tanks with cheaper fuel. :y ;D

When central London started with the congestion zone, other councils showed a slight interest. Once they published how much money they were raking in, every other council couldn't wait.

Fortunately, the bankrupt Northamptonshire County Council and bankrupt South Northants local council have become a unitary council, and have no plans for such silliness. They are going to start charging for garden waste bins instead - they have been free here for a couple of decades as a sweetener for when we went to fortnightly bin collections.
Oxfordshire County Council has, ever since I can remember, been trying to ban cars from going anywhere near their beloved Oxford. Never impacted me much, despite Mrs TB coming from there, as I have never wanted to go anywhere near that shithole. The (once) ringroad around the outside was plenty close enough.

You don't know how lucky you have been. We have had to pay for the green garden waste bin collection for years in Pendle. This year it is £37 per bin - if you have two, it's double. Used to be free and collected every all year round. Then they stopped it in the winter months unless specifically requested. Now its just March to November full stop. When the neighbours beech hedge sheds leaves for fun, there is never any garden waste collections.... ::)
-
Chuck it back over his fence or ask him to pay your £37.
Our green bin collections are still free, but if they start charging I will tip the grass cuttings over the back fence onto the allotments and they can use it as compost.
Bin collections is all we get for our £1500 pa council tax. >:(

£1.72-£1.80 in Barnsley

The signs from the 3 outlets in and around the town vary from £1.749 to £1.899 for tractor fuel. But none of them actually have any. Still.
-
£1.698 At Sainsbury’s and at the local BP filling station.
But, Sainsbury’s had sold out of all fuel, and the BP had only unleaded left. Why?
Well it is because down here there is gridlock on the M20, M2, A20 and A2, due to the P&O ferry fiasco with international truckers waiting to get down to Dover. The M20 has been closed for all coastal traffic from junction 8 at Maidstone, to Junction 11 at Folkestone for one gigantic lorry park!
Apart from on truly ‘local’ roads, no traffic is moving any distance easily, including fuel tankers delivering to the filling stations. This chaos has now spread up to North East, North and South Kent.
Politicians are pushing for a state of emergency to be called to resolve this issue, with the P&O ferries not due to return to service until next week, and the Euro shuttle trains, along with the few remaining operating ferries being overwhelmed. :(
So prices are not the problem for us at the moment. :o :o

Its not just the P&O situation causing delays in Kent, there is also GVMS has been fubar for the past week.
Still, its what "we" voted for ;D
Although fuel scarcities are all over pockets of England, partly due to a lack of tanker drivers (again, what "we" voted for), partly due to the misinformed fuel protesters.

I had an email from UPS informing me that a parcel they were delivering from Lithuania was being delayed by Euro tunnel and they were working on alternative arrangements. It arrived the following morning.
Can't see what all the fuss is about :D
Dover hold ups have been happening for decades. Every time a road is widened, bigger ferry added, longer freight trains etc, traffic levels increase almost exponentially.
Dover itself is a bottleneck by virtue of its geography as much as anything else. And why queue for four days when you could use one of at least four other ports to get to France. Sure the crossing may be longer, but surely they are more time efficient than being stuck in Kent ???

If it was all that simple, please explain then why an estimated 5,000 trucks are now parked up in Kent on many major roads and in lorry parks? ::) ::)
If you really believe it is all avoidable, then why are major, very commercially astute, transport companies taking on board massive extra costs every day this is all happening?
Towns such as Dover, Folkestone, and our Ashford are also suffering greatly from the gridlock which is apparently going to be worse over this holiday weekend. :(

Do ferries still run from Folkestone and Ramsgate?
If not why not?
The port of Dover has always been a bottleneck. The current problems can largely be solved by adding more ships from more places. Or the long required development of a superport of a scale appropriate to the traffic passing through it. And whilst the P&O debacle is being resolved, I don't see any trucks being diverted to Tilbury or Newhaven?
I note that there's no similar disruption along the A12.
Obviously it's all down to Brexit. And TCV. And Trump. But mostly Brexit.

Until it gets a very big problem no tinker gives a toss about ergonomics, we need people who have had experience in real life to help govern us.

More ships from more places? Are these ships just waiting somewhere?

No, they were all scrapped in 2020 when people were banned from breathing outside and the companies decided to use passenger ferries to run freight, choosing to cash in on scrap prices rather than laying them up. Because obviously the world was going to end.
Take half the Dover fleet out of service and suddenly you have a backlog. Hardly a surprise.
Stena have shuffled their fleet in response on certain routes by postponing annual maintenance. But that doesn't help Dover any because they haven't operated a service from there for years, Dover Calais effectively being a P&O monopoly.
That said, Folkestone and Ramsgate haven't had a meaningful ferry service between them since I left school.
There is always someone else to blame first it was LeShuttle, then the end of duty free, then Easyjet, then Batflu and Brexit, but there's as much freight going through Dover now as there was before the referendum, but at no point did anyone stop and say 'hang on a minute, we need to ramp up capacity' the same short-sightedness that built two single track tunnels under the sea to run constantly conflicting services. Best thing to do with it would be to stop the passenger services and turn it into a continuous loop, like a baggage conveyer. It might take longer to do the crossing, but being a continuous loop, there would be no delays and no wasted space. You simply join the queue at one end, and literally non stop, drive off the other end.
Operation stack has been a 'thing' for decades, so that's not a new problem either.
Basically the system has zero contingency capability built into it. And effectively shutting down P&O with red tape BS because they changed employment agencies is a self fulfilling prophecy.
Just enough capacity is never enough. And it's about time that those responsible accept that they either need to invest in more infrastructure or stop importing everything*.
*Obviously that's no longer an option which leaves more infrastructure.

To directly answer your question...

As said earlier, any P&O problems are compounded by the fact that GVMS (the system used to allow exports of commercial goods from the UK following Brexit) shat its pants over a week ago, and the barely existent manual systems are not coping. So lorries of commercial goods cannot leave the UK currently.
Its easy to blame P&O, but that in reality has minimal impact as the other companies can mostly take up the slack on non holiday periods.
Its also easy to claim it can't possibly be Brexit, even though clearly that's a major part of it. We were warned of all these sorts of issues, but Uncle Nige and bumchums declared it was Project Fear. Therefore this can't possibly be reality for any of the brainwashed ;)
Virtually all of the people I now speak to who voted to leave the EU wished they had voted the other way, as this was not the promised utopia. They say they were promised that we could control our borders and stop the flow of illegal immigrants (not sure how Brexit was ever going to do that), and promised the NHS were going to get an extra £300m a week (that one is hard to defend, no matter how people deny it was written on the bus). And that if we didn't leave, we'd be ruled by Nazis.
Oh, and how I laughed when that silly tart in the papers last year was making a song and dance about a massive mobile bill she'd run up in Spain, and how that wasn't an expected side effect of leaving ;D

Back on track, £1.799 at a fuel station nearly 20 miles away, following a week of there being no diesel around these parts.
-
156.7p for E10 proper car fuel at my local this morning. 175.7p for lorry juice. No queues and no shortages as far as I could see.
I filled up ready for a dash to Folkestone/Calais next Friday.
-
I filled up with the dirty juice at Costco Bristol yesterday afternoon at £1.697 per litre. No queues and no supply issues. :y
-
Local Sainsbury totally out of all fuel at the moment. Luckily not going far this weekend, hopefully. :D

Missus is in Bognor, hope she can get some or she'll be staying in Bognor.

That slack non holiday period aka Easter? :D
I wouldn't have voted any differently. ;)

£1.78 today. When I finally found some.

Now down to £1.598 at Sainsbury’s and £1.599 at the local BP. Supplies now seem to be ok. :)

Bad here today & the RRS needed diesel as going to Sussex with the "tin tent " soon, all that was available was BP ultimate at £1.99 per litre all other diesel pumps were " out of use" not that bothered as long as we can get away, just over £120 to top it up.

I would go somewhere else, unless the Scoobie can manage the burger van.
No diesel reliably available within ten miles of Horsham or Crawley. Anywhere that does have some at any point might not have some an hour later.
Had to go to Redhill to find some for the work van to be able to get to Luton yesterday evening yet was able to get some at the airport to top the car up at 2am. Anywhere that looks like it is having a delivery is instantly mobbed.
Petrol is more readily available, but expect to queue.
-
No petrol supply issues here in Shropshire, £1.55p for regular e10, no idea about super. Fair few places out of diesel that I've noticed, but not sure how widespread it is as not something I need to look for.
Just paid £0.00p to fill the milk float up at work, but given the shambolic state of the VW software running the thing, I'd rather be paying for petrol.
-
Do you need us to send down our diesel as well as our water? ;D
-
Petrol seems to be slightly more available, but many garages will still display prices even though pumps/forecourts are closed off so you'll pull in hoping to get some only to find that they are closed... Fricking retards.
It’s taken a while, but the big Tescos in Horsham finally closed the kiosk just to reinforce the concept that they had no fuel.

Stamps. Postage stamps. I suppose I could get slightly irked about those. They only sell them at the ciggie and lottery counter and there's always someone who is getting the attendant to check 20 ancient tickets just in case they're a multi millionaire. Never even seen a tenner, but one day it might be them, who knows?

I don't know, these backward little places. In cosmopolitan Barnsley, we have stand alone (and for a long time) post offices. ;D

Downsides of kiosks at supermarket fuel stations is their dogged determination to hang on to the 20 year old £99 limit.
Prices have somewhat increased since then :(

Looks like all those who would normally just put £20 in to last them a couple of weeks are now running around with £100 left in their tanks, so the situation is easing here after 3 weeks of none.
But as I was passing Coventry, nipped in to Costco and paid £1.65 for dirty diesel.

Sorry, I meant those without kiosks, ie pay at pump only. Which round here, most of them are, in line with most newish supermarkets.

I never use pay at pump. Maybe that's the problem... :-\

I take it you're still banned from the BP then... If the kiosk isn't open I buy somewhere else or fuel up when it is.

The BP only normally has fuel when its a full moon and nought on at Silverstone. Obviously lately, they've had bugger all.
But they always have tepid coffee and M&S food.
Which is why nobody buys fuel there. That, and the prices on the board are 15ppl more than anywhere else, though said prices are irrelevant, as they never have the stuff.
So you're stuck with Sainsburys (no kiosk, but all 6 pumps normally working when they have fuel) or Tesco (kiosk open for limited hours during the day, else pay at pump, but often a 20-30 minute queue due to long term faulty pumps... ...or double the queung time if Tesco are having a 5p a litre off offer when you do your weekly shop).
So, you get used to Sainsburys (or Tesco, when its quieter but kiosk closed) and the £99 limit around these parts. Or you use non fossil fuelled modes of transport, like walking or cycling. Or even EV if you don't need to leave town.

Its why TBE had to go. There is a sort of garden centre that sells it about 15 miles away, but they have very limited openings hours. Next nearest LPG is about 30 miles away, in the wrong direction.

The writing was on the wall for years, so was more than prepared when the day came.
BP started pulling it from virtually all their stations years ago. Then the local Countrywide outlet's pump failed, and after a couple of years asking when they were going to fix it, they declared they wouldn't. Then Shell's decision to start removing pumps...
Mrs TheBoy is still gutted about TBE (or Chav, as she called it). But its gone to help keep another 2 and a half Omegas going :)

Not since I stopped being self employed, but I take cash on holibobs, mostly for budgeting purposes, and like to have some cash on me otherwise, if only for the vending machine at work.
Not a fan of the £100 contact less limit, and if you pay in the kiosk you're more likely to get a receipt and there is less chance of your card details being acquired.
I know Asda in Norwich doesn't have a kiosk, but there's plenty of alternatives that do.
The kiosk at Tescos in Broadbridge Heath isn't 24 hour, but the one at Three Bridges is, and it's usually cheaper. If I finish around 6am, the Sainsbugs in Crawley opens then, as does Mcdonalds in their car park, so it's opportune for both breakfast and fuel, and is cheaper than Tescos.
To say that there are no alternative places to by fuel in the greater Brackley area is a nonsense, sure they may not be the cheapest, but that's the trade off between convenience and distance. Ultimately it is your choice to be able to buy fuel or not.
A few ppl is neither here nor there in the grand scheme of things, especially if it is the difference between having fuel or not.

.....
..... and if you pay in the kiosk you're more likely to get a receipt
I'm frequently asked if I want a receipt when paying with either of my credit cards ;) You either say yes please or no thanks
.... and there is less chance of your card details being acquired. ...
I'd say the other way round. Years ago there was a local garage where cards were cloned. The bloke behind the late night window would 'accidently' drop your card & clone it on the floor as he picked it up.

Aside for the 3 fuel stations in or on the outskirts of town, there are 2 others that are within a 20 mile round trip. One is Cherwell Valley Services (the one thats been on all the M40 matrix signs for the past month stating no fuel ;D) and an Esso about half a mile nearer. Which is fine if going that way, but a bit of a drag if you aint, and the Esso suffers from queues due to being a cheaper version of the services for those in the know.
And that's it.
Its an improvement on pre batflu, as we used to only have 2 in town until about 18 months ago.
But pay at pump is the future, I can't think of any new supermarkets with fuel stations having kiosks. Its quick, probably more secure, and definitely reduces queues. Just bloody annoying that they still have a 20 year old limit :(
-

Indeed, many of the times my accounts have been compromised, I've been able to pinpoint the garage involved.
Although virtually all retail outlets now have the equipment and train the staff not to go near the customer's card. Although there are some decent scams still achievable by dodgy staff...

All prices reduced here now by around 12p per litre.
Hmmm.....I wonder why ours has stayed the same? I just paid £1.72.7 at ASDA for diesel but, on the way home, I passed garages with it as much as £1.79.9.
-
I remember, not that long ago, I was getting 100 miles for £12-13, it's nearer £20 now.
-
I noticed Tesco's had dirty diesel for 170.9p yesterday., so its definitely dropping round here.
A fair queue though, as is normal there, due to several pumps out of action.
In fairness to Brackley Tesco, they do put a ruddy get big whiteboard up saying which pumps are buggered, and what fuels they don't have on each pump, so you dont waste time queuing at a pump that doesnt have dirty diesel. Brackley BP on the other hand... ...oppsing retards.
-
I think they just shut some of the pumps off so as they don’t run out too fast

Officially an 80 litre tank :-X
Living life on the edge Al! ;D
Why not :D
Even with these prices, it's still cheaper to commute than to move to Heathrow...

To be fair, it had managed almost 150 miles more than the previous tanks :D

Yep, that's why I buy them, plenty of salt and vinegar makes a lovely butty. But I like a bacon butty too, and I got two packs of bacon for £3.40. I suppose I could have bought the smart price fish fingers at £1odd for 20 of them, but I like a bit of fish in my fish fingers ;D

You could always dip them...

-

Pork pies are even worse.... ;D

On the way back from Liverpool, just passed a garage with diesel at £189.9.

Just reading posts that prices have hit £2 per litre in some places. >:(

Got stung for £1.80 per litre for E10 petrol last Thursday. Was running on fumes on the way home from Lincolnshire/Norfolk and decided to stop at the Morrisons in Wincanton rather than risk the remaining 15 miles to get home to Yeovil incase we had to get out and push. Foolishly thought that the Wincanton Morrisons price would be the same as the Yeovil Morrisons price. Did the pay at them pump thing, and it authorised up to £100 spend. That didn't fill the tank! Just over 55L into a 66L tank. Then when I got back to yeovil, it was 'only' £1.71 a litre. Shysters.
-
£1.739 Unleaded this morning at Sainsbury's, but up to £1.839 elsewhere down here :'( :'( :'(
-
£1.699 for regular E10 round our way which is probably 'not bad' in these bonkers times. ::)
-
Just reading posts that prices have hit £2 per litre in some places. >:(
They will be everywhere soon unless a miracle happens :'( :'( :'(
-
Dont think Ive seen anything under 179.9 around here this week. Petrol and diesel now seem to be virtually the same price.
When and how will it end ? Its beyond a joke now. :(
-
Was the recent 5p reduction actually passed on? :-X
-
I filled the Volvo up this afternoon at Costco Bristol and it was £176.6 for diesel and I think about 10p less for petrol. :-\
Went in with the needle just above the red and for the first time ever the pump stopped at £99 rather than clicking at the nozzle. :(
Rishi Sunak must be flush with all the extra VAT he's creaming off. ::) >:(

Well OK then, the Treasury must be quite flush now with all the extra VAT they are collecting, so they can afford to lavish some cash on you poor old pensioners! :y
That better? :)

Just got back from filling up at local Sainsbury. £170.9 for E10.. Do love it when the BB bloodyC show a station showing £2.02 when they talk about fuel prices. ::)
-
Saino in Brakkers was 179.9p for dirty diesel, which it has been for a couple of weeks.
And I managed to fill it yesterday, due to it being less than half empty.
-
It really doesn't matter, does it? We all have to go where we have to go. So we'll pay, whatever the cost. Unless we all buy milk floats, of course, then we can have a "longest queue in Britain to charge your car" thread.

Indeed not. Mine gets filled when it needs filling. Though because I anally record such things, its bloody annoying if you can't fill it due to those stupid £99 limits. Which means I now have to waste my time filling it more often, just so I can fill it.
-
I just fill them when they need filling & to be honest very rarely look at the price.

First off, THANK YOU EVERYONE for your concern 🙏 I'm ok, just a bit shaken up, but l'll be ok. For those of you who don't know what happened, I was robbed yesterday morning at the petrol station filling up the Taxi. I gathered myself together, my hands were still shaking, I was dizzy and I honestly think I was in shock. My money was gone. I called the police, they were fantastic and called for medical assistance as my blood pressure was through the roof. The police asked me if I knew who did it, and I told them "Yes, it was pump number 4 ” ⛽️

I was also mugged in the frozen aisle at ASDA this morning. £7.50 for 30 Birds Eye fish fingers. :o
-
25p each...
Bleddy bargain :D

When I started work, at 16, with GPO Telephones, my wages were 7 guineas a week. A packet of fish fingers cost more now. ;D

Strewth....you must be older than Moses. I'm surprised you were not paid in groats. ;D

Filled up yesterday, 2% more than five days earlier
Five weeks ago, my favourite wine was 3.69 now 4.39. Loads of other products gone up in our local supermarket. I dare say just the tip of the iceberg as transport companies understandably charge more.
-
Just filled up the future classic.
50.02 litres cost me £86.38. :o :o
172.7p at Asda, which was 10p a litre cheaper than most.
-
Washington services ( again >:( ) 204.9 for diesel :o

First wage packet, 46 hr week was £3.17.6d after stoppages. Thought i'd won the pools. ;D

I took home £6.18s after deductions. Gave mum £3 housekeeping, I was far too generous even then

I can't understand these parents who don't charge their kids any board at all. It doesn't set them up for the real world when they finally fly the coop.
-
£106 plus change to fill the Omega today ,it wasn't even empty ::)
-
Jesus.. I’m so glad I can still get lpg around here for mine. I get around 160 miles for about £36, locally.
-
Put some 99 octane in the Monaro yesterday, £2.06.9 a litre :o >:(
-
I discovered a garage in Sunbury/Staines that sells LPG... Not exactly on my way home, but if it saves 90ppl, it will be well worth the detour.
Which opens up some options.
-
I found some petrol at 179.9 yesterday and felt lucky ! ::) ;D
-
About 2.6 Euro/litre. Nice to tow a mobile home with Y26SE.
-

Went back to the same garage a couple of days ago and not only was the price the same but I found out I could exchange 300 nectar points for 5p off a litre. :)
I saw a garage in Colchester yesterday with diesel priced at 204.9p per litre !
-

Quick maths suggests that is close to £10 a gallon. :-X
-
Costco Bristol yesterday:
Unleaded £180.7 Premium Unleaded £191.9 Diesel £187.9
It's the cheapest fuel I know of at the moment and over £2 a litre for diesel is now common, nevertheless it still cost me £70 for half a tank in my Ford Mondeo. :(
I did some back of the envelope calculations yesterday and reckon that the Treasury is pocketing an extra 12p a litre in VAT on the price rise from a nominal £1.40 a litre and a 60 price rise to £2 a litre. >:(
-
This morning, Sainsburys £1.939, so swung it round and joined the queue for Tesco at £1.859
This is obviously for Opti's favourite liquid...

Our local Tescos has taken to price matching the Shell a couple of hundred yards away.
Which has always been the price leader when it comes to overcharging :-X
-
The local garage I use is £1.99.9 today, so £2 basically.
-
Same here STEMO! £1.99.9 for diesel as I now have a 4X4 diesel jobbie. Omega has now been sold as I was struggling to get in and out of it! :( :(
-
Friends of ours paid £2.08 for diesel at M5 services yesterday that equates to £9.36 per gallon approximately 🚙🚙🚙
-
Last weekend paid £2.05.9 for 99 at an Esso in Chelmsford
Yesterday in Wakefield paid £2.02.9 for V power
Bit far to travel for a fill up though

It was something like £1.85 for Tesco's better stuff, which I think is 98? I only keep half an eye on it for the lawnmower, as I can't use normal unleaded :(
-
I paid 186.9p.... :-X
Same garage 199.9p for derv and 109.9p (I think) for LPG.
-
Esso Witham today. 174 and 5ppl off in exchange for 300 nectar points.
People were queueing to get in.
-
Brent Crude has declined recently on talk of a global recession and in volatile trading was as 'low' as $97.52 yesterday.
Currently $104.23, so hopefully we'll see prices fall at the pumps in the near future. ::)
I won't hold my breath on that though....... :-\
-
The A3 services at Ripley were back below £2 a litre on the way past this afternoon. £0.01 below, but that's a start :)
-
Diesel is stubbornly stuck at £1.99.9 around here, except for Asda at £1.95.7.
-
Heavy Oil was £1.98.9 at the closest (Shell) to us, but there was £1 off with the Shell Go+ app today, every little helps I guess!

Presumably that's a pound off the transaction rather than the litre price :D
